This is a bug in the glibc maintainer's 'shlibs' file.  If you would
like, I'd recommend filing a bug with this package via reportbug.

The autobuild for the alpha binary is atL

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=axiom&ver=0.20040831-1&arch=alpha&stamp=1094075004&file=log&as=raw

The toolchain versions used were:

Toolchain package versions: libc6.1-dev_2.3.2.ds1-16 
linux-kernel-headers_2.5.999-test7-bk-17 gcc-3.3_1:3.3.4-9 g++-3.3_1:3.3.4-9 
binutils_2.15-2 libstdc++5_1:3.3.4-9 libstdc++5-3.3-dev_1:3.3.4-9

Yet the (calculated from 'shlibs' files) dependencies were:

Depends: libc6.1 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgmp3, libncurses5 (>= 5.4-1), 
libreadline4 (>= 4.3-1), axiom-databases (= 0.20040831-1)

Please note also that now that -16 is in testing, the issue will not
bite anyone doing an apt-get upgrade.

My suspicion here is in the python lib calling axiom.  If one can
reproduce an error with the intel axiom standalone, I'd be most
appreciative!

Take care,
