Not really.  CLN links against libgmp3.  But the headers are not needed
any more for running the library, even not for linking against libcln.
(We have rejected a dozen or so patches that "fixed" CLN for use with gmp3
for exactly this reason: we don't want to rely on the gmp header filese
being there.  All we need to know is sizeof(mp_limb_t), then we can map
this to our data structures.)  So, we have the following dependencies:
  cln                 depends on libgmp3 (but not libgmp3-dev)
  cln-dev             depends on cln and thus on libgmp3
  the whole package   build-depends on libgmp3-dev
Probably something got screwed elsewhere.  I will build the cln package
again, this time not here but on one of the Debian project machines.
Please holler if cln-1.1.0_3 reintroduces the problem on your machine!

Regards

PS: Hubert, we could need a machine running woody.  Can I just use higgs?
