You are selling me some dreams here ;)

sure, many thanks :)

Two quick questions: * is that a recent regression * which version of arpack do you use? Could you please provide a test case reproducing the issue? thanks

Don't hesitate to propose a PR to implement it :)

Patches welcome ! I am not planing to spend time on this, sorry!

Nope, sorry :(

@fghoussen Does it ring a bell? we could just disable mpi on this arch...

other archs are indeed failing: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=arpack

The soname is about the versioning of the ABI, not the software itself. AFAIK, the arpack library is still ABI compatible with the previous versions. Therefor, doesn't require a bump...

oh, ok, that. Sure, feel free to submit a PR!
