Subject: octave-nan includes its own version of libsvm -- not dynamically linked to libsvm

Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:39:42 +0100

Package: octave-nan
Version: 3.0.2-1

The octave-nan package includes the matlab libsvm toolbox which is an
interface to the C++ library libsvm [1].  libsvm is already package in
Debian [2] but the octave-nan package seems statically linked with the
outdated version of libsvm that is distributed with the octave nan
package.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I am preparing right now a new version of 
the package that will fix this bug [1].

The patch that I introduced is kind of a hack and it would be good if the 
upstream author could cope with the issue in a proper way.  I will 
eventually fill a bug report against the Octave-Forge package nan.
