Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> make[1]: Entering directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»/doc'
> mkdir -p build
> ./make_gallery.py 
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "./make_gallery.py", line 21, in <module>
>     import matplotlib

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
