Fwd: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#714360: src:octave: does not work with glpk 4.51-1

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi Reza,

You being an expert on large scale linear programming problemss may be
interesting on trying to solve this issue in Octave. It wont requiere
your expertise but you may find interesting to know how glpk is being
used in Octave and the internals of the GNU library GLPK

Package: src:octave
Version: 3.6.4-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Usertags: glpk

Octave 3.6.4 is not compatible with the last version of glpk (4.51-1) which is
currently in experimental. Some obsolete functions were removed from glpk, but
Octave still uses them.

As a consequence, the configure script of Octave fails to detect glpk (but
Octave nevertheless compiles), and the resulting Octave binary does not have
the functionality provided by the glpk.m function. I attach a build log for
reference.

The severity of this bug report will be raised when the new version of glpk is
uploaded to unstable.
