Erich, Thanks for the report about batik API compat. Could you be a little more verbose on what was needed to fix ELKI ? I see that that
import org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGDOMImplementation; is still used in the ELKI (from sid). I am trying to understand if this is possible to upload 1.8 to sid with a debian-specific fix, then progressively upgrade dependencies to match upstream (removing reference to SVGDOMImplementation). Thanks much,
