[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#896025: Segfault in test suite of new upstream version (Was: python-mne FTBFS with python-matplotlib 2.2.2-1)

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Dear Andreas

Thank you for taking a stab at this!  I will try to not forget to look
at it tomorrow (need to meet some other deadlines today).  If you had a
chance to try figuring out in what part segfault happens (I would just
strace -f -o /tmp/strace.log python -m pytest ...) it might give a clue.
Might as well be an xvfb issue
