Bug#901377: ping (was: Re: skimage: FTBFS and Debci failure with NumPy 1.14)

[Lumin]

Dear skimage maintainer,

Briefly speaking, we plan to team-upload skimage (= 0.14.0) to resolve
this RC bug if the original maintainers allows us to do so. We'll try
to fix this after one week if the original maintainers didn't take action.

skimage failed to build from source since numpy (>= 1.14) was uploaded
to Debian unstable, and the cause of the trouble is exactly numpy api
changes. In upstream repo, there are several commits that adapts the
source to the api changes but they don't apply to Debian's source 
without change. So I think the most efficient way is to import 0.14.0 .

Please tell us if we can fix this RC by importing skimage (= 0.14.0).
Thanks.
