[Ilmar Wilbers <ilmarw@xxxxxxxxx>]

I assume you followed the instructions on packages.simula.no? I did the 
upgrade on Friday, and it worked for me (except some problems with 
openmpi, but a package that fixes this problem is already available in 
our repository). Try to apt-get purge the old packages. Like it says on 
the website are the packages build for Gutsty, but we are working on the 
Hardy versions.

Will send a copy of this email to deb-dev@xxxxxxxxxx, where this 
question belongs.
