Hi Donnie,

I apologize for not being very clear in my response and I was indeed
refering to removing the old sci-libs/{blas,lapack} packages. I'll 
check into the arch issues over the weekend. ppc/ppc64 might be a
problem since they seem to have problems with blas-atlas 
(bug #120775).

Thanks,
Markus
