Package: libopenblas64-0 Version: 0.3.10+ds-3 As per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878121 libopenblas64-0 has been made available containing the ILP64 build of OpenBLAS. Debian uses the same symbol names in libopenblas64-0 and libopenblas0, which leads to conflicts if users load multiple libraries into the same process that expect 32bit and 64bit interfaces respectively as the dynamic loader will only resolve the symbols once.
For example, python3-numpy may depend on the 32bit libraries, but users can compile a package against libopenblas64-0 and load both into the same Python process. I believe that for this reason Debian's Julia package bundles OpenBlas "compiled with SONAME=libopenblas64_.so, INTERFACE64=1 and all symbols suffixed by "64_" as of 1.2.0+dfsg-1. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905826 Why not provide libopenblas64_-0 packages with symbol name suffixes? This should allow Julia package to stop bundling OpenBlas as well as ease the life of users that want to compile against OpenBLAS ILP64 interface on Debian systems while avoiding symbol name conflicts. This seems to be the approach taken by Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openblas/blob/HEAD/f/openblas.spec Thank you Leonard
