Dear Maintainer,

your package depends on libeigen3-dev. The upstream released a
new major version of this mathematical library, 5.0.0. Some
basic information about new features and changes in this version
can be found here:

https://libeigen.gitlab.io/releases/5.0/

This is a major version change and may require code changes in packages
depending on eigen3. The key breaking changes include:

  - Minimum required C++ standard is now C++14
  - Changes in the build system integration
  - Some API name changes

manif FTBFS with libeigen3-dev 5.0.1. The full build log is available at:

https://debusine.debian.net/debian/developers-gladk-eigen3/artifact/3757387/

Here is the most probably relevant part of the failing build log:
    ===========================================

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy : Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)
                                   Depends: cmake but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:
   1. libceres-dev:amd64 is selected for install because:
      1. sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy:amd64=0.invalid.0 is selected for install
      2. sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy:amd64 Depends libceres-dev
   2. libceres-dev:amd64 Depends libeigen3-dev (< 3.4.1)
      but none of the choices are installable:
      - libeigen3-dev:amd64=3.4.0-5 is not selected for install
apt-get failed.
E: Package installation failed
Not removing build depends: cloned chroot in use


    ===========================================
libeigen3-dev_5.0.1-1 is available in experimental.

When this package version lands into unstable (probably at the beginning
of June 2026), this bug will be increased in severity to serious.

Thanks,

Anton

Hi Anton,

I believe this happens because libceres-dev pins the libeigen3-dev
version like this: "libeigen3-dev (>= 3.4.0), libeigen3-dev (<< 3.4.1)".
As soon as libceres-dev has been rebuilt against libeigen3-dev 5.x, the
error will vanish.

I'll leave the bug open until this rebuild has happened, but I'm marking
the bug as "notfound" to indicate that it is a transient issue with the
transition and not tied to any particular manif version.

Feel free to change the bug metadata again if you know a better way to
record the situation.


Cheers
Timo
