Package: libopenblas-base Version: 0.3.2+ds-1 Severity: serious Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi. First of all, I selected serious instead of the more appropriate critical severity because I don't want to severity inflation. On the other hand, if you think that this is a severity too high, feel free to set it to a more appropriate level (as long as we get everything fixed). OK, now, to the actual report. With version 0.3.2 of openblas installed, whenever I call gimp (I always start programs from the command line), it just sits there and doesn't even show its splash screen. If I interrupt the execution with Ctrl+C, then I get a "Segmentation fault" message, which would lead me to think that the program would not even have finished being linked to all the shared libraries that it needs. If I run gimp under strace, I see that it hangs in a mutex call that never proceeds. I searched the web and I found the following discussion: <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238684>. In it, it is suggested that the problem might have be with openblas and, indeed, I removed libopenblas-base and voilá: with just atlas and the reference blas installed, gimp fires up as expected on this machine. This computer is, BTW, a notebook with a Core 2 Duo processor and, when I start gimp now, I get the following message (that I used to get with openblas before the upgrade to 0.3): ,---- | Missing fast-path babl conversion detected, Implementing missing babl fast paths | accelerates GEGL, GIMP and other software using babl, warnings are printed on | first occurance of formats used where a conversion has to be synthesized | programmatically by babl based on format description | | *WARNING* missing babl fast path(s): "R'G'B' double" to "CIE Lab double" `---- If any further information is needed, please let me know.
