There is indeed no port by that name in our repo. I guess you must have installed it from somewhere else at some point?

I do have a SuiteSparse directory (maybe from building Octave or something else). How do I prevent the conflict?

Not sure what you mean by "the conflict". All that's happening is that rev-upgrade is detecting that your installed SuiteSparse_SLIP_LU port has broken linking. If you don't want to use that port, just uninstall it. If you do want to use it, you'll need to figure out how you installed it, and most likely install it again to rebuild it against whatever library has changed since you installed it last time.

[dbl001 (dbl)]

SuiteSparse_SLIP_LU was a dependency of both SuiteSparse 5.9.0 and SuiteSparse 5.13.0_0. After uninstalling SuiteSparse_SLIP_LU (and SuiteSparse 5.9.0 and SuiteSparse 5.13.0_0.), there are no further issues.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Ah I see, it did previously exist but was deleted. Looks like it should have been marked as replaced_by SuiteSparse_SPEX?

[szhorvat (Szabolcs Horvát)]

SuiteSparse_SLIP_LU was replaced by SuiteSparse_SPEX. I am not sure if there is API compatibility between the two.

SuiteSparse_CSparse was completely removed.

[szhorvat (Szabolcs Horvát)]

Joshua, I will clarify if SPEX is a drop-in replacement for SLIP_LU. If it is, do you need me to re-add SLIP_LU with a replaced_by line?

SLIP_LU had no dependents.

As for CSparse, it should never have been included as a port as it is not designed to be installed system-wide. There is CXSparse for that. The new fully CMake based version of SuiteSparse does not provide facilities to install CSparse, as it was never meant to be installed.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Replying to szhorvat:

Joshua, I will clarify if SPEX is a drop-in replacement for SLIP_LU. If it is, do you need me to re-add SLIP_LU with a replaced_by line?

That would be best if it is, yes. It will at minimum help prevent confusion as in this ticket, and it's possible that users could have installed just that subport for use in their own projects.

I think CSparse is much less of a concern since it only installed a static lib.

[szhorvat (Szabolcs Horvát)]

I just a response about SPEX and I am told that it is not a simple drop-in replacement. It requires code changes to move from SLIP_LU to SPEX. Therefore it shouldn't be marked as a replacement.

I think this issue can be closed, as a simple uninstallation of the now-removed package resolves the problem.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Alright, I'll close this under maintainer timeout.
