Description:

The current Scala package (scala 2.11.6-1) includes an old Actor implementation. The new one is Akka, which is now part of the standard library.


Steps to reproduce:
The following program fails to compile with "scalac" because the "akka.actor.Actor" object is not found.

import akka.actor.Actor
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.Props

class HelloActor extends Actor {
def receive = {
case "hello" => println("hello back at you")
case _ => println("huh?")
}
}

object Main extends App {
val system = ActorSystem("HelloSystem")
// default Actor constructor
val helloActor = system.actorOf(Props[HelloActor], name = "helloactor")
helloActor ! "hello"
helloActor ! "buenos dias"
}
