I don't think there's any need to bump the version. If someone has a broken installation now, you'd have to tell them to download lapack, which is fine. If you bumped the version, then they'd be downloading both orpie and lapack and the only thing that really changed was that they'd now have lapack on their system. I don't think that's a win. I added lapack to orpies requires line: requires: cygwin gsl lapack libncurses8 cgf
