Problematic netcdf reverse dependencies finally removed
It took quite some time since the netcdf transition in October 2015 to
get the few reverse dependencies that failed to build removed as
blockers for testing transition of subsequent updates.
There were a number of badly maintained packages that still depended on
libvtk5.8 which was replaced with libvtk5.10 in unstable some time ago,
there was also python-scientific with its lack of support for recent
NumPy keeping the old netcdf and hdf5 packages in unstable.
Yesterday python-scientific was removed from unstable removing the last
cruft keeping netcdf (1:4.1.3-7.2) in unstable. Getting to this stage
required the removal of all python-scientific and libvtk5.8 reverse
dependencies, some of them got fixed but most were removed from unstable
entirely.
The cruft report still mentions a couple of packages keeping the hdf5
(1.8.13+docs-15.1) packages unstable, these still need to be dealt with
in a similar fashion.
