[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#902760: Two failed tests remaining in igraph which are arpack related

[Tamas Nepusz]

Hi Andreas & Adrian,

This is the ARPACK patch that needs to be applied in order to fix the
failing test cases in igraph:

https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng/commit/31854cadaff067e30b8715f10533c459a9b7d447

As far as I know, there was no official ARPACK release with the patch
above yet so it has to be applied manually.

All the best,
Tamas
