[Bug 1606037] Re: [Request for removal] eigen2 to has been removed in Debian in 2014 – beeing replaced with eigen3

Sun Jul 24 19:19:07 UTC 2016

** Description changed:

  Looking at bug #1066196 (Typo in package description eigen2-doc)

  we discovered that eigen2 has been removed in Debian in 2014 and
  replaced with eigen3 (or Wrapper to it).

  Apart from the the fact that unmaintained packages may/can initiate
  security-holes we don't see a reason why it should be kept in newer
  versions of Ubuntu.

  Further details see comments #4, 5 in mentioned bug #1066196

  Some additional informations:

  Project-Wiki about the transition in Jan.2014
  http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Eigen2

+ Debian-changelog:
+ http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/e/eigen3/eigen3_3.2.1-2~bpo70+1_changelog

  Thanks in advance
