14 Hi Thomas,
15
16 I have very much explained what's going on in this bug:
17 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473454
18
19 But to summarize: in glpk 4.49 lpx_ symbols have been removed. Not moved, they
20 were probably deprecated for a while.
21 It affects cvxopt and ppl as well - there may be more. Octave and sage are
22 unaffected
23
24 If you check out the git tree from ppl you can see what they have done
25 in May to
26 solve the problem on their side.
27
28 I personally think glpk 4.50 should be masked until we have some resolution on
29 all these.
