Have you logged a bug with Ubuntu or with I don't know as I don't use Ubuntu myself, but being a regular of the Debian OCaml mailing list, it has happened multiple times (maybe 4 or 5, I don't remember) that Ubuntu users complained about "inconsistent assumption" errors on that list. I don't know which was the Ubuntu release and of course I trust your words when you say that with LTS everything is OK. I was just observing that if in some other Ubuntu releases there are issues with OCaml stuff, maybe they can be fixed with some pinning magics. More generally, I've already stated in the past that we (Debian side) are more than open towards Ubuntu developers willing to collaborate with us for better support of OCaml in any Debian-based distro and to share the workload (which is getting higher, as OCaml is approaching total world domination). Sadly, nobody stepped forward to help. If you, or anybody else, is an Ubuntu user willing to help in OCaml package maintenance let me know, there is for sure a task for you :-) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
