[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1012277: hipspy fails with astropy 5.1

[Ole Streicher]

Source: hipspy
Version: 0.2-3
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream ftbfs

Since the installation of astropy 5.1, hipspy fails its tests. The first
error is

ImportError while loading conftest '/usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/hips/conftest.py'.
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/hips/conftest.py:6: in <module>
     from astropy.tests.plugins.display import PYTEST_HEADER_MODULES,
TESTED_VERSIONS
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'astropy.tests.plugins'

however after fixing this, other appear. The same happens now when
hipspy is compiled on unstable.

Since it is unclear whether hipspy still gets upstream support in the
future (and therefore it is worth fixing), this bug is to autoremove
hipspy from testing and let astropy migrate.
