Source: harp
Version: 1.25-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs patch
Control: tags -1 forky sid
User: debian-gis at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hdf4-4.3.1

Dear Maintainer,

Your package FTBFS with HDF4 4.3.1 in experimental because the -alt libraries were removed.

The attached patch fixes the issue, but cannot be used for the package in unstable until libhdf4 has been updated there sometime after the trixie release.

Kind Regards,

Bas
