[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1063526: astroml: test_iterative_PCA fails with scipy 1.11: unexpected keyword argument 'sym_pos'

Source: astroml
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: important
Control: block 1061605 by -1

astroml is failing test_iterative_PCA with scipy 1.11 from experimental

 82s             for i in range(n_samples):
 82s                 VWV = np.dot(VT[:n_ev], (notM[i] * VT[:n_ev]).T)
 82s >               coeffs[i] = solve(VWV, VWx[:, i], sym_pos=True, overwrite_a=True)
 82s E               TypeError: solve() got an unexpected keyword argument 'sym_pos'
 82s 
 82s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/astroML/dimensionality/iterative_pca.py:127: TypeError
 
>From the error description it's probably easy to fix, just need to
work out what is going on with the sym_pos argument.
 
scipy 1.11 is currently in experimental but I'd like to upload soon to
unstable to resolve Bug#1061605, which would make this bug serious.
