Bug#719770: python3-pyfits and python3-astropy-legacy: error when trying to install together

[Ole Streicher]

Control: reopen -1

Hi Scott,

I agree that it should be solved in python3-astropy-legacy, so I
reassign the bug accordingly (and re-open it to get it closed by the
bugfix).

However, python3-astropy-legacy does not use pyfits for a reason:
astropy is designed to be the successor of pyfits, see [1]. The same is
true for pywcs and vo.table. The pyfits developer (Eric Bray) is also a
major contributor to astropy [2].

Best regards

Ole
