Bug#910808: sagemath: Sage crashes on startup, seems to be compiled against wrong libsingular version

[Tobias Hansen]

It's good to keep this in mind for the future, but what do you think needs to be done now? The packages are already in testing and work together without problems.

By the way, in this case testing users were not affected. The only reverse dependencies of singular are pynac and sagemath. pynac and singular migrated to testing together and sagemath was not in testing.

Best,
Tobias
