i dont think it's appropriate to expect any maintainer to test "random" applications available on the internet, in particular when they ask you personal information before sending you back a mail with a download link (??). in particular when it has written all over the place that this app is targeting specifically ubuntu 16.04 and if you dont use that you're on your own. you may want to ask for assistance to a user support forum, such as the debian-users mailing list > I would not bother you if not for the bug 889137 which says that Gtk2 is not > supported in python. > Because of this issue, I need to install Ubuntu (or something else). i mean, there's nothing wrong with deprecating backends and support only newer versions, the problem now is in applications to keep up, which in this case has not happened (yet). For example, did you open a ticket with the compass developers asking for guidance on how to deploy that application with a newer version of matplotlib? there's nothing wrong with matplotlib in Debian, as far as i can tell, just compass (a third party app) needs updating Regards, -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
