# `linked-with-obsolete-library`

This tag is currently only issued for libcblas.so. For an explanation, please continue below.

The symbols in `libcblas.so`, which represent the `CBLAS` API, were merged into `libblas.so`. (Note the missing letter `C`.) Please use `libblas.so` instead.

The old library is still being shipped until all packages have modified their build systems, but it is not managed by `update-alternatives` and may result in poor performance. Please do not use it anymore.

Some packages may require functionality specific to Atlas3, which is not implemented by other `BLAS/CBLAS` alternatives. Please override the tag if your package falls into that category.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
