[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#778912: dependency on OpenBLAS should be hardcoded

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: julia
Version: 0.3.2-1
Severity: serious

OpenBLAS is used at build time and, as a consequence, the resulting binary
depends on some features which are OpenBLAS-specific. However the julia package
depends on any BLAS implementation.

Therefore, if a user changes the used BLAS implementation using the
alternatives mechanism, julia will be broken is some dimensions.

The solution is to set a hard dependency on OpenBLAS.
