Package: mayavi2
Severity: normal

Hello,
python-numpy has recently been updated to 1.4.1 upstream
release. This brought, among several improvements & fixes, also a
data type change for 'dtype' [1], that resulted into several
packages not working anymore.

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/07/msg00045.html

A fast solution would be to schedule binNMUs for the affected
packages against the new numpy, but that would break partial
upgrades (where only the packages or python-numpy is upgraded,
and this can happen given they have not a strict depends on it).

In order to avoid this situation to happen again in the next
upgrades, we started discussing some solutions [2][3] (please
read it and reply to that thread with comments).

[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/07/msg00048.html
[3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/07/msg00057.html

>From that discussion we are proposing the solution explained at
[4], and they are:

[4] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/07/msg00076.html

* use dh_python2 in debian/rules with the correct --depends,
  --recommends, --sugge sts switch as explained in
  http://deb.li/pydist, using the pydist file shipped in
  python-numpy
* keep using the same helper as of today but add a call to
  dh_numpy, a new helper script that generates stricter versioned
  depends on python-numpy, appending them to python:Depends
  substvar.

as a side note: python-support will be able to use pydist
files (and so --depends/--recommends/--suggests) in the coming
future, but it's not there yet.

The bug is marked as Release Critical since we have to ensure
that all the package strictly requiring a given numpy version to
be installed use any of those solutions.

If you need any kind of help in the resolution of this bug, do
not hesitate to contact me directly (you might also want to hear
[email protected]) and I'll provide all the help I
can.

Thanks for your attention,
Sandro
