Here is a quick summary of Giulio's and my findings:

Usign the configuration from the failed autobuild job:

  - make clean; make python-numpy    --> builds OK

  - make clean; make   --> fails to build

The root cause is a hidden dependency on lapack. When lapack is build
before python-numpy (which is highly possible, because of alphabetical
ordering), then python-numpy detects it and fails to build properly in
this case.

So, I can see two solutions:

  - add an explicit, conditional dependency on lapack, and fix the
    build,

  - explicitly tell python-numpy to never use lapack.

Obviously, the first would be preferred, but it's probably non-trivial.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
