Lintian tag: linked-with-obsolete-library

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This tag is currently only issued for libcblas.so. For an explanation,
please continue below.

The symbols in libcblas.so, which represent the CBLAS API, were merged
into libblas.so. (Note the missing letter C.) Please use libblas.so
instead.

The old library is still being shipped until all packages have modified
their build systems, but it is not managed by update-alternatives and may
result in poor performance. Please do not use it anymore.

Some packages may require functionality specific to Atlas3, which is not
implemented by other BLAS/CBLAS alternatives. Please override the tag if
your package falls into that category.
