Bug#778540: suitesparse-metis version 3.1.0-2 failed to build with parmetis in experimental

[Wolfgang Fuetterer]

Source: suitesparse-metis
Version: 3.1.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the current version of suitesparse-metis won't build with parmetis(4.0.3-3)
currently in experimental.

There is a newer version of suitesparse-metis available at
http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/suitesparse.html which will build well
against the experimental version of parmetis.

I build it by myself and it works very well despite of some lintian errors.
There are IMHO two options available:

- Remove suitesparse-metis after parmetis enters unstable ( I plan that after
the release of jessie )
- Somebody (me(?)) updates suitesparse-metis to the new version

Cheers
