[jaunty] package broken due to conflict with python 2.6

[Tillmann Falck]

matplotlib needs a rebuild to allow installation with python 2.6 installed.

I tried a simple rebuild with pbuilder, but it fails:

g++ -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -g -O2 build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/_tkagg.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/CXX/cxx_extensions.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/CXX/cxxsupport.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/CXX/cxxextensions.o -ltk8.5 -ltcl8.5 -lstdc++ -lm -lfreetype -lz -lz -lstdc++ -lm -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/matplotlib/backends/_tkagg.so

I had the same problem with dpkg-buildpackage. Installing tk8.5 resolved it, probably it should be a build dependency.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Strange. matplotlib build depends on python-tk and python-tk 2.5.4-0ubuntu4 depends on tcl8.5 and tk8.5.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package matplotlib - 0.98.5.2-1ubuntu1

---------------
matplotlib (0.98.5.2-1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Python 2.6 transition (lp: #336234)
  * Build with tcl/tk8.5 as python-tk was build with tcl/tk8.5.
