[Bug 1542928] [NEW] python-scientific should be removed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Matthias Klose (doko):

The latest netcdf package (1:4.4.0-1 ) is stuck in -proposed. This is presumably because the transition is waiting for python-scientific:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/netcdf.html

python-scientific does not build because it is not compatible with the latest numPy (1.9), and will probably not be fixed before the Debian Import Freeze:

As you can see from that bug, python-scientific has been removed from most distributions (including Debian Testing).

Python-scientific should probably be removed from Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)
as well.

The reverse dependencies have also been removed in Debian Testing and should also be removed from Ubuntu Xenial:
- sixpack
- mmtk
- dolfin
- gpivtools
