Package: python-matplotlib Version: 0.99.3 Severity: important
With the standard Squeeze install (python 2.6, matplotlib 0.99.3), attempts to import any part of matplotlib causes Python to crash. e.g. >>>from matplotlib.pylab import * Instruction not permitted $ Same for help() calls to matplotlib (eg >modules plot). Reproducible on 2 machines: a dual PIII 800MHz with a pristine Squeeze install (386 kernel, "Stable" all the way, Python 2.6, matplotlib 0.99.3) and the machine detailed below (dual PIII 1GHz). So I suspect the use of a newer set of instruction (sse2)? Present -but not documented- in the upstream matplotlib release (verified on home builds from source, all versions 0.99 and above). That should at the very least be documented since downgading to 0.98 is non-trivial (and not an option with apt-get -not if you have Python 2.6 installed). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-matplotlib depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.4-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.1-1+b1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.0-3+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.5.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii python 2.6.6-12 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-cairo 1.8.8-1+b1 Python bindings for the Cairo vect ii python-dateutil 1.4.1-3 powerful extensions to the standar ii python-gobject 2.21.4+is.2.21.3-1 Python bindings for the GObject li pn python-matplotlib-dat <none> (no description available) ii python-numpy 1:1.4.1-5 Numerical Python adds a fast array ii python-pyparsing 1.5.2-2 Python parsing module ii python-support 1.0.11 automated rebuilding support for P ii python-tz 2010b-1 Python version of the Olson timezo ii tcl8.5 8.5.8-2 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii tk8.5 8.5.8-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.5 - ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages python-matplotlib recommends: ii python-glade2 2.17.0-4 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-tk 2.6.6-1 Tkinter - Writing Tk applications Versions of packages python-matplotlib suggests: ii dvipng 1.13-1 convert DVI files to PNG graphics ii ipython 0.10-1 enhanced interactive Python shell ii librsvg2-common 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG pn python-configobj <none> (no description available) ii python-excelerator 0.6.4.1-1 module for reading/writing Excel s ii python-gtk2 2.17.0-4 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge pn python-matplotlib-doc <none> (no description available) pn python-qt3 <none> (no description available) pn python-qt4 <none> (no description available) ii python-scipy 0.7.2+dfsg1-1 scientific tools for Python pn python-traits <none> (no description available) ii python-wxgtk2.8 2.8.10.1-3+b1 wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI t pn texlive-extra-utils <none> (no description available) pn texlive-latex-extra <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
