I just checked. This appears to be the way it always was: -- atlas packages can transparently replace the normal blas -- we usually default to the blas -- if you install atlas, it gets found.

Given how users need to install libatlas (either base or hardware-specific ones) manually anyway, I see no real issue. | Since SAGE depends on both r and these libraries, it'd be helpful if | r-base-dev were to depend on (libblas-dev | libatlas-base-dev), the | gfortran analogue of the old (refblas3-dev | atlas3-base-dev) dependency. Oh, darn. Now I see -- you were talking about the -dev, not r-base-core. But even that should be covered via libatlas-base-dev proving libblas-dev. What am I missing here? But in the meantime, lemme get the alternates back in. Dirk | Thanks, | | -Tim Abbott | | -- I was off email for a few days until March 29th, and am now catching up.
