Bug#1135005: gerris: recommends gfsview which is not in unstable

[Stephane Popinet]

Dear Carles,

Thanks for the warning. From

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gfsview

it seems that the problem comes from:

uscan had problems while searching for a new upstream version:

In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage
   http://gerris.dalembert.upmc.fr/gerris/tarballs/ failed: 500 Can't 
connect to gerris.dalembert.upmc.fr:443 (certificate verify failed)

I checked and there is indeed a problem with the certificate.

I will fix it and tell you when it is done.

It would be good to have gfsview (and gfsview-batch) back in testing.

thanks for your help,

Stephane
