[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#900836: altree: FTBFS: fig2dev: not found

[Niko Tyni]

Source: altree
Version: 1.3.1-6
Severity: serious

This package fails to build from source on current sid/amd64.

This was probably caused by

  latex-make (2.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
   .
     * Replace transfig by fig2dev (package renamed) (Closes: #866153)
     * Move some dependency to recommends (not required if not using
       figlatex.sty or PS)
     * New upstream version
       + Reorganize pdfswitch
       + Fix python synxtax to be valid in 2.7 and 3
 
which relaxed its dependency on fig2dev to a recommendation.
