Dear Maintainer,

Your package depends on the hdf4-alt package which are removed in HDF 4.3.1.

The attached patch resolves this, but cannot be used for the package in unstable until libhdf4 has been updated there sometime after the trixie release.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Control: retitle -1 dx: FTBFS with HDF 4.3.1
Control: tags -1 ftbfs

The libhdf4-alt-dev & libhdf4-0-alt transitional packages have been removed in libhdf4 (4.3.1-1~exp2) as they don't work as intended.

This causes your package to FTBFS, which the above mentioned patch also fixes.

Kind Regards,

Bas

libhdf4 (4.3.1-1) has been uploaded to unstable, raising the severity of this issue accordingly.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Control: tags -1 pending

This is fixed in git. I prefer to leave the upload to its usual maintainer.

Kind Regards,

Bas
