[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#659808: libsbml5-octave: uninstallable on ia64

Package: libsbml5-octave
Version: 5.2.0-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

libsbml's control file contains the following in the libsbml5-octave
stanza:

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends},
 ${misc:Depends},
 octave3.2,
 libc6 (>=2.4)

Aside from the last entry being redundant (it will get added via
shlib:Depends if needed) and there being no obvious reason for its
inclusion, it's also broken on architectures where the C library runtime
package isn't libc6 - e.g. ia64, kfreebsd-* and hurd-i386.

Regards,

Adam
