Because only that package has an issue. I don't know any fortran, so I 
cannot troubleshoot this issue.

I'm not going to be that person. I was hoping that the abinit maintainer 
would chime in, but they haven't responded to this issue for almost two 
months.

Since no one cares enough about netcdf-fortran, I'll go an have it 
removed from the archive as I'm not willing to spend time on issues like 
these.

Kind Regards,
