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:

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

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

Hi Anton,

do you know if something underlying changed ? According to
https://libeigen.gitlab.io/eigen/docs-5.0/TopicCMakeGuide.html
this should just work as before. Even when I added a patch to use the
exact example specified for 5.0 it still couldn't find it.

best,
