Bug#1057590 has been recently filed against the octave-netcdf package,
which currently FTBFS. This bug is exposed at the end of the Octave
session where the binding functions for the netcdf library are used,
causing a segmentation fault.
The bug has been forwarded upstream [1]. The upstream author of
octave-netcdf, John Donoghue, discovered that the problem is not caused
by the netcdf package nor by Octave itself, but is rather a problem
within the netcdf library, in the way the HDF5 support is unloaded. He
proposed a patch to the upstream authors of the netcdf library [2]. It
would be great if that patch can be integrated to the netcdf package for
Debian.
I confirm that the patch fixes the segfault problem of octave-netcdf and
that the netcdf package builds correctly with it.
I am hereby setting the severity level to "important", since the bug here
reported is blocking Bug#1057590, which has severity level "serious".
Please feel free to change the severity level to whatever you see fit.
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
