Package: python3-matplotlib Source: matplotlib (3.5.1-2) Version: 3.5.1-2+b1
The dependency problems for Matplotlib with LaTex markup are so notorious that they are already mentioned in the Matplotlib tutorial [1]: "On Ubuntu and Gentoo, the base texlive install does not ship with the type1cm package. You may need to install some of the extra packages to get all the goodies that come bundled with other LaTeX distributions." That note is outdated only insofar as the problem is no longer with type1cm, a package which does not exist in recent Debian versions. Starting with Matplotlib 3.2.1, the critical dependency is rather on file type1ec.sty [2], which is provided by package cm-super (or cm-super-minimal). I see the following possibilities. Solution 1. Let python3-matplotlib depend on cm-super-minimal, dvipng, texlive-extra-utils, texlive-latex-extra. Solution 2. As solution 1. Additionally, provide a new package python3-matplotlib-minimal for basic Matplotlib without LaTex markup. Solution 3. Leave python3-matplotlib without support for LaTeX markup. Provide a new dependency package python3-matplotlib-latex that depends on python3-matplotlib, cm-super-minimal, dvipng, texlive-extra-utils, texlive-latex-extra.
