Hello,

You receive this email because you are listed either as maintainer or
uploader of a package that Build-Depends on libmpfr-dev. Sorry for the
multiple copies you could receive.

Summary: the functions mpfr_cmp_ui and mpfr_cmp_si were implemented as
macros that could in certain circonstances evaluate twice their first
argument. This is fixed in the version now in experimental.

Quoting from the bug log:

    BTW, all packages that depend on MPFR should be checked. If one of
    them uses mpfr_cmp_ui or mpfr_cmp_si where
      * the first argument is an expression with side effects, and
      * the second argument is a constant expression with the value 0,
	then the package may be affected by the bug and needs to be
	recompiled against a patched MPFR library.

Please let me know if you find such a problem in your package.

Laurent.
