Description

I haven't checked yet that recompiling Octave with HDF 1.8.5 fixes this problem but given that Octave itself has code that insists on compile-time and run-time versions of libhdf5 matching, I think the package %spec should specify an equivalent restriction. OK, I misunderstood the error message. The panic/abort is NOT caused by an actual bug but preventively by the incompatibility detection. When Octave is started as HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=1 octave it actually could read my test HDF5 file in spite of the dire warnings. Looks like hdf5 isn't packaged all that well, the soname should be broken every time something like this happens.
We could fix this by adding
%global hdf_version %(grep H5_VERS_INFO /usr/include/H5public.h|awk '{print $6}'|sed 's|"||g;s|-|.|g')
and
Requires: hdf5 = %{hdf_version}
to the spec file, but I think it is hdf5 that should be fixed - other packages might be suffering from the same problem as well.
