[Python-modules-team] Bug#581412: libblas.so.3gf: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.3.0-3+b1
Severity: normal


Comparing with another system where numpy works, I noticed that the "alternative" for libblas.so.3gf hasn't been set up:

sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~/src/measure$ ls -l /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf: No such file or directory
sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~/src/measure$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3gf
ls: cannot access /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3gf: No such file or directory
sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~$ 


There are no outstanding configurations:

sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~/src/measure$ sudo dpkg -a --configure
sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~$ 

dpkg.log also shows nothing unusual:

sascha.silbe at xo15-minimal:~$ grep blas /var/log/dpkg.log.1

/var/log/aptitude and apt/term.log don't reach as far back, unfortunately.

Reinstalling the package fixed it:

Unless somebody else encountered it as well and has more logs that show what happened, we can probably close this bug (even though it isn't really fixed).
