"Bad state" was a single failing unittest on exotic platforms AFAIK -- or am I missing something? That test could have been dealt efficiently via NMU, but noone did. Anyways -- I've uploaded a fixed up package to the archive earlier today. Let's see how it goes. Although in general I do not mind moving packages under Debian Science, I do not see it as a panacea... quite often in my case it leads to me spending more time working around adjusting my workflow and to provide backports which we do for NeuroDebian. So unless I see that there is an immediate benefit overweighting the cons in this case, I would prefer to keep it as is for now. Sorry Cheers, -- Yaroslav O.
