Dear all,

The RC bug #748130 founded in the scotch library 
causes to mark for autoremoval many packages in the jessie distribution.

Notice that the bug do not concern the actual jessie distribution :
it is restricted to the stable one on the amd64 architecture.
Recall that, in that specific case, the actual stable/amd64 scotch package
links to both mipch and openmpi and this produce a segfault
at run time. A simple recompilation of the stable scotch packages
for amd64 should fix this bug (see bug #748130 for more).

So, the jessie scotch packages are not concerned by this bug and
all packages that depend one do not need to be marked for autoremoval.

Regards,

Pierre
