[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1101170: uninstallable: fails to configure due to unresolved symbols

[Giacomo Mulas]

Package: casacore-data-tai-utc
Version: 1.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

the currently distributed casacore-data-tai-utc is uninstallable, since it fails to configure due to unresolved symbols:

Setting up casacore-data-tai-utc (1.3) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

dpkg: error processing package casacore-data-tai-utc (--configure):
 installed casacore-data-tai-utc package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 casacore-data-tai-utc

There likely is either a mismatch between some library casacore-data-tai-utc depends on, or some missing/incorrect dependence.
Whatever the reason, casacore-data-tai-utc is currently uninstallable and unusable.

Best regards,
Giacomo Mulas
