 thank you for the suggestion.
 Since the full downgrade is difficult for me (due to dependencies of 
 other software), I'd rather upgrade.

 After short investigation I found the only related difference between 
 unstable and testing in libnetcdf7.
 And yes, it was there! When I upgraded just from libnetcdf7_4.4.0~rc2-1 
 (testing) to libnetcdf7_4.4.0~rc2-1+b1 (unstable) it seems, all (in the 
 chain) started to work correctly.

 My current version of related packages shoud be the same as in 
 unstable, i.e. gmt 5.1.2+dfsg1-2+b1, gdal and libgdal1i 
 1.11.2+dfsg-3+b2, libhdf5-10 1.8.15-patch1+docs-4 and libnetcdf7 
 1:4.4.0~rc2-1+b1.

 Therefore, it seems to be just a temporary issue of testing, that 
 should be solved with libnetcdf7_4.4.0~rc2-1+b1 migration.

 So, one might consider to close the bug.
 Meanwhile, just the dependence of libgdal1i could be restricted to an 
 appropriate version of libnetcdf7, nevertheless, it is safe to ignore 
 this issue completely, because just a 'temporary' libnetcdf7_4.4.0~rc2-1 
 seems to be broken.
