Thanks Volker, so the affected packages are: gdal, grads, ncl, pygrib, wgrib2 I will fix pygrib myself. Orion Poplawski knows about the change and already looked at gdal. He also is main contact for ncl and wgrib2. So only grads remains. I filed a bugzilla entry to warn the maintainers about this change.
