7 Hi Christopher,
8
9 A warning is good but I would prefer to to put the libraries linking
10 to libsingular in quarantine for revdep-rebuild until that happens.
11 Otherwise revdep-rebuild will always want to rebuild sage-core again
12 and again. Furthermore:
13 1) we cannot count on users reading the warning.
14 2) during any genuine call to revdep-rebuild to catch other stuff
15 sage-core will be added and considering the time it takes it is
16 not nice.
