[Debichem-devel] Bug#786355: Bug#786355: Avogadro update

[Anton Gladky]

Hi Michael,

I want to move a version of eigen3 from experimental to
unstable, not to let any new packages use the deprecated
EIGEN2_SUPPORT interface.

avogadro is the only package in unstable which is using such
interface. Is it OK to move avogadro from experimental to
unstable to finish this painful eigen3 transition?

Thanks

Anton
