[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

Thank you for your time and efforts making Ubuntu better! However, there are some issues:

Missing build dependencies: ocaml-nox (>= 3.11.2-3)

I was trying to build ocaml 3.11.2-4 from Debian unstable, but it fails. Please investigate.

[Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre)]

Well, if you have an older version of ocaml (than the one listed), there will be some issues in Ubuntu due to the bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617404

And what do you mean by "it fails" ?
thanks

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

Artur, I think you should report a bug against the ocaml package ...

Anyway, -3 of ocaml is important because it fixes some critical issues with binutils

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

I asked Steve Langasek for fix FTBFS on ocaml - thanks Steve!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package scilab - 5.3.1-3
