Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 2.2.3-5
Severity: normal
Tags: sid buster
Control: affects -1 sagetex

Hi Sandro,

matplotlib.pyplot depends on python-tk, so I think the package 
python-matplotlib should depend on it. This breaks the autopkgtest of sagetex, 
see
https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/s/sagetex/1821254/log.gz

This didn't show up until now because sagemath had a dependency on python-tk to 
work around it.

Steps to reproduce:

$ python
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 115, in 
<module>
    _backend_mod, new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, _show = pylab_setup()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py", line 
62, in pylab_setup
    [backend_name], 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", 
line 4, in <module>
    from . import tkagg  # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension.
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/tkagg.py", line 5, 
in <module>
    from six.moves import tkinter as Tk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 203, in load_module
    mod = mod._resolve()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 115, in _resolve
    return _import_module(self.mod)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 82, in _import_module
    __import__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in <module>
    raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package

(It would also be really cool if you could apply the upstream patch discussed 
in #918819!)

Best,
Tobias
