[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#845437: liblorene-dev: definition of __infinity is buggy (FTBFS on alpha)

[Thibaut Paumard]

Package: liblorene-dev
Version: 0.0.0~cvs20160908+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: pending

Upstream maintains a number of definitions of __infinity based on a
mixture of architecture and platform.

However this list is incomplete (does not contain all the Debian
architectures), is buggy (FTBFS on Debian alpha) and defaults to some
random value.

The safest way seems to unconditionally use INFINITY from cmath, what
upstream do in there __linux case, which has a lower priority than their
__alpha__ case.

Regards, Thibaut.
