Hi Maintainer

Since the recent upload of python-numpy on 2018-05-05, photutils has 
been failing its autopkgtests [1] and has now also started to FTBFS in
unstable [2] with several errors similar to the following:

=================================== FAILURES 
===================================
____________________________ test_sky_aperture_repr 
____________________________

     def test_sky_aperture_repr():
         s = SkyCoord([1, 2], [3, 4], unit='deg')

         aper = SkyCircularAperture(s, r=3*u.pix)
         a_repr = ('<SkyCircularAperture(<SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in 
deg\n'
                   '    [( 1.,  3.), ( 2.,  4.)]>, r=3.0 pix)>')
         a_str = ('Aperture: SkyCircularAperture\npositions: <SkyCoord '
                  '(ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg\n    [( 1.,  3.), ( 2., 
4.)]>\n'
                  'r: 3.0 pix')
 >       assert repr(aper) == a_repr
E       AssertionError: assert '<SkyCircular..., r=3.0 pix)>' == 
'<SkyCircularA..., r=3.0 pix)>'
E           <SkyCircularAperture(<SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg
E         -     [(1., 3.), (2., 4.)]>, r=3.0 pix)>
E         +     [( 1.,  3.), ( 2.,  4.)]>, r=3.0 pix)>
E         ?       +   +       +   +
