Hello,
Sorry for coming back to a thread we previously discussed, but the
situation for the libumfpack4 library in Debian testing seems to have
come to a halt.
I still cannot install dolfin from the repositories and trying to
force a different version of libumfpack4 may give rise to other
problems (Scipy and God knows what else depend upon this library).
I emailed the maintainer asking whether the situation is going to
change and if the newest version is going to be uploaded into testing
soon, but I have had no reply yet.
Although this is not really the job/responsibility of anyone on the
list, are there any suggestions? I would like to use precompiled
binaries instead of building from source and using CVS, but I cannot
switch to Ubuntu simply for this (even if it was only because I cannot
afford the time to re-install everything on my work laptop for a
software I want to learn how to use for "personal development").
Many thanks

Lorenzo

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libdolfin: Depends: libumfpack4 (>= 4.4-3)
E: Broken packages
