Hi Chris,

I note that the r-pi github issue says that this is a debian package
issue and recommends that it be reported there. However, a bug report
hasn't been filed against the package. That would seem to be a first
step to getting the issue fixed.

Note that there is a separate maxima-src package, too. I don't know much
about the r-pi platform. Is it possible to build maxima from source
directly on the r-pi? or by cross compiling?
