[Python-modules-team] Bug#752548: python-matplotlib: Segmentation fault in show()

[Martin Lutz]

Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 1.3.1-1+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the update of package python-tk to version 2.7.7-2 solves the import error
of matplotlib (Debian bug 751767) but gives a segmentation fault in matplotlib:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([0,1],[0,1])
plt.show()

Segmentation fault
