[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#807834: astropy-utils: Astropy-utils depends on python-astropy 1.1, but it is not listed as dependency

[Gabriel Perez-Cerezo]

Package: astropy-utils
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: important

I am running Debian Jessie with some packages from unstable, including astropy-
utils. I tried running several utils from astropy-utils and they all output the
same message:
$ fits2bitmap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fits2bitmap", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2876, in
<module>
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 451, in
_build_master
    return cls._build_from_requirements(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 464, in
_build_from_requirements
    dists = ws.resolve(reqs, Environment())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 639, in
resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: astropy==1.1

This shows that these packages depend on python-astropy 1.1, but the Debian
package does not list any version information, just 'python-astropy'

My proposed fix is to simply state in the control file that astropy-utils
depends on python-astropy 1.1, so my system can install the required version of
python-astropy from unstable automatically.

Cheers,

Gabriel Pérez-Cerezo
