python-scipy: autopkgtest fails (Re:bug#919929)
python-scipy has recently started failing all debci tests in testing and
unstable, exacerbating the bug report in Bug#919929 [1].
The failing error is a MemoryError. But understanding the problem is
hampered by a flood of deprecation warnings, presumably triggered by
numpy 1.16. scipy 1.2 added instructions to pytest.ini to ignore the
warnings.
Bug#919929 has not yet been marked RC but I guess it's about to happen.
I propose in the first instance to apply a patch of the pytest.ini diff
between scipy 1.1 and 1.2 and see if that clears things up. I'll commit
the patch now. Should I proceed with upload to unstable?
