As indicated in a previous reply, the test case itself runs fine with
scikit-learn 0.22.2.post1+dfsg-5 (and even earlier) when called through
pytest.

It's only when python-skbio's internal test runner is called that the
test fails. Therefore, one can probably safely assume that the issue
must originate there.

Furthermore, as python-skbio was already removed from testing and
therefore, a newer scikit-learn won't be an issue there, I'm reassigning
this to python-skbio only, so that scikit-learn can migrate.
