Dear Makoto,

The sdpa package has a hard-coded dependency on libscotch-5.1, even though
it dynamically links against -lscotch at build time and gets the correct
dependency via ${shlibs:Depends}.

libscotch-5.1 has now been replaced with libscotch-6.0, which makes sdpa
uninstallable in Debian testing.

I have uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, which fixes this problem. 
Please consider applying it in Debian as well.

Thanks,
