Hi Martin,

can do, but to avoid conflicts between arpack and arpack-ng, we'd have
to rename the shared lib. That in turn would mean having to tweak each
of the packages we're moving to use -ng (otherwise they'd just pick it up).

Given that essentially everyone else uses -ng succesfully, are you sure
that that's the way to go? Or could we live with the conflict for a while?

cu,
Volker
