[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#549881: melting-gui: Does not work at all.

[Charles Plessy]

Package: melting-gui
Version: 4.3b-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi Andreas,

I confirm that 4.3b-1 is totally broken. Luckily, the reason is simple:

aqwa『melting』$ git diff upstream/4.2h upstream/4.3b BIN/tkmelting.pl | tail
 	    message("error","error","The factor of correction for the nucleic acid concentration seems to contain one or more illegal characters. It has to be a number");

 # C'est parti
 #-------------
     
-    @results=`melting $options -v -q 2>&1`;
+    @results=`./melting4_4-linuxi386 $options -v -q 2>&1`;
     print "@results";
 
 #------------------------

Whoever the fastest can make a trivial patch to tkmelting.pl, fix the bug, and
report the issue upstream.

Have a nice day,
