Bug#977469: matplotlib: Please make package bootstrappable
Source: matplotlib
Version: 3.3.2-2
Severity: normal

Hello!
matploblib is currently BD-Uninstallanble on multiple architectures and it's
not easily possible to build the package because there is a circular build
dependency with the package on itself [1]:
(sid-powerpc-sbuild2)root@kapitsa:/# apt build-dep python3-matplotlib
Reading package lists... Done
Picking 'matplotlib' as source package instead of 'python3-matplotlib'
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-matplotlib : Depends: python3 (< 3.9) but 3.9.0-4 is to be installed
python3-pandas : Depends: python3-pandas-lib (>= 1.1.5+dfsg) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(sid-powerpc-sbuild2)root@kapitsa:/#
Could you make matplotlib bootstrappable so that porters can bootstrap the
package when it's necessary?
I'm currently stuck with this package and I have no clue how to break the
circular build dependency here.
Thanks,
Adrian
