There is one more problem, which are transitional dependencies:

The new python3-numpy version breaks (f.e.) python3-pyregion because of
the problem in python3-astropy. The new upload of python3-astropy fixes
this, so in unstable everything is OK. Even when one now adds a

Breaks: python3-astropy (<< fixed-version)

to python-numpy, it will not migrate due to the test failure of
python3-pyregion in testing. Adding a "Breaks: python3-pyregion" is
however wrong, since pyregion is perfect for the new numpy version.

So, how to handle this?

Cheers

Ole
