[Python-modules-team] Bug#770838: python-numpy: Import fails with ImportError: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3:, undefined symbol: cgemm3m_nn

[Patrick Hallen]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.8.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

importing numpy fails with an ImportError exception. The following
backtrace is produced:

>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 153,

ImportError: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3: undefined symbol: cgemm3m_nn


This is with Python 2.7.8, but I get the same error with Python 3.4.2. I've
also tried installing python-numpy 1:1.9.0~rc1-1 from experimental, which
results in the same error when importing.

This may very well be a bug in libblas3, but I have installed the most
recent
version of libblas3 and the error manifests when importing numpy. I'll
gladly
report a bug for libblas3, if you think the problem has to be solved there.
