liblapack-pic 3.2.0-3 (sparc binary) in ubuntu karmic

 This package is a binary incompatible upgrade to the lapack-pic
 package. The (minor) incompatibilities are entirely due to changes in
 the blas library, against which this library is linked. Please see the
 documentation for the refblas3 package for details.
 .
 LAPACK version 3.X is a comprehensive FORTRAN library that does
 linear algebra operations including matrix inversions, least
 squared solutions to linear sets of equations, eigenvector
 analysis, singular value decomposition, etc. It is a very
 comprehensive and reputable package that has found extensive
 use in the scientific community.
 .
 Normally one would want to use non-PIC code for static linking. In
 this case, install lapack-dev. This package is provided for other
 packages, such as atlas, needing access to PIC versions of the lapack
 objects in their own build process.
