Source: scitools
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so

Dear Maintainer,

Please remove python-netcdf from the python-scitools Recommends.

python-netcdf is incompatible with numpy 1.9 and hasn't been in testing
for almost two years. There hasn't been any upstream activity since
2014, making it unlikly to gain compatibility with numpy 1.9.

python-netcdf4 may be a suitable alternative for dolfin, it is actively
maintained by the NetCDF upstream developers.

This bugreport is filed as part of the process to get all reverse
dependencies of python-scientific removed from Debian unstable. If
scitools cannot do without the python-netcdf Recommends, it will also
need to be removed from Debian.

Kind Regards,

Bas
