Package: libflint-arb-dev
Version: 1:2.18.1-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: claude at mathr.co.uk

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed libflint-arb-dev and tried to compile my program,
compilation failed with:

/usr/include/mag.h:23:10: fatal error: flint/flint.h: No such file or directory
   23 | #include "flint/flint.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After installing libflint-dev compilation succeeded.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That installing libflint-arb-dev should allow programs using
arb to be compiled without needing to install extra packages
by hand.

Thanks for your work,


Claude
