Sorry, I don't get the logic. To make good use of this package, we need either 3.10 *or* 3.11. Why then force us to install 3.10 *and* 3.11? > Please search older report similar to this one for more information. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945824 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025169 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1003805 Conclusion: - Many users see a severe issue here. - You are firmly determined to keep python3-numpy dependent on several python versions. But why? - You would only accept a patch if it "works in every single situation". This amounts to saying "never". Hardly any package is free of bugs. Please take note that the current situation is very remote from working in every single situation. Any decision should be based on fairly weighed pro and cons. For the benefit of those who see this discussion while searching for a solution that just works for them: Currently the simplest solution is to deinstall python3-numpy, then reinstall numpy (and matplotlib and other packages that depend on numpy) using pip3.
