Bug#840457: linbox: FTBFS w/fflas-ffpack 1.x: No package 'fflas-ffpack' found

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: linbox
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Builds of linbox on architectures that still have fflas-ffpack 1.6.0-1
due to #840454 have been failing:

  checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
  checking for FFLAS_FFPACK... no
  configure: error: Package requirements (fflas-ffpack) were not met:
  
  No package 'fflas-ffpack' found
  
  Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
  installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Please version the build dependency on fflas-ffpack to ensure you get
a version that ships fflas-ffpack.pc.  (Alternatively, if the 1.6.0
API is sufficient for your purposes, you could explicitly set
FFLAS_FFPACK_{CFLAGS,LIBS}.)

Thanks!
