+Tag: linked-with-obsolete-library
+Severity: info
+Check: libraries/shared/obsolete
+Explanation: This tag is currently only issued for libcblas.so. For an explanation,
+ please continue below.
+ .
+ The symbols in <code>libcblas.so</code>, which represent the <code>CBLAS</code> API,
+ were merged into <code>libblas.so</code>. (Note the missing letter <code>C</code>.)
+ Please use <code>libblas.so</code> instead.
+ .
+ The old library is still being shipped until all packages have modified
+ their build systems, but it is not managed by <code>update-alternatives</code>
+ 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 <code>BLAS/CBLAS</code> alternatives. Please override the
+ tag if your package falls into that category.
