Package: gfortran Version: 4:4.8.1-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Maintainer, Currently, gfortran 4.7 to 4.8 transition causes many failures when compiling user code. When you upgrade the default gfortran version, you should ask binNMU for all packages which contains Fortran90 .mod files. All the time you bump up the default gfortran version, packages which contains .mod file, such as MPI(openmpi), HDF5, or netCDF, needs recompilation since .mod files are incompatible between gfortran version. This is hidden dependency, and this has been an important issue these days; See other bug reports regarding this issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630986 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=635739 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=675115 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687127 Some of them are fixed by new upload by individual maintainer, and others don't. However, I believe this incompatibiliy is not a user packager's fault. I believe that these issue can be more easily handled by gfortran toolchain layer.
