Bug Description

The package labyrinth depends on python-numeric, which no longer exists in oneiric (I think because it is deprecated in favor of python-numpy), the package is therefore no longer installable.

I'm not sure whether labyrinth is actually using the numeric package at all (except for doing an "from Numeric import *" in utils.py), anyway...

TEST CASE:
1) Try to install labryinth
2) Observe it fail

Try to install the version from -proposed and watch it succeed.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 labyrinth : Depends: python-numeric but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

...similarly, this package shows up int the Software Center but is not installable from there, either.

I have the same Problem since my upgrade to oneiric labyrinth mindmaps is no more installable - is there a Way to bring python-numeric to oneiric (just in my case a x64 version)?

I really miss this tool…

I uploaded a fix to the linked branch that replaces Numeric with numpy and changes the debian/control file accordingly. This should fix the issue (I tested it for Oneiric). Upstream development for a new version seems to be underway (release candidate 2 for 0.5 is out) -- for Precise it would be better to update the complete package.

I don't know upstream's release schedule but think it'd be best to just upload the same change to precise for now.

Hi Martin,

Just installed the package from oneiric-proposed and it is working fine. Thanks for the fix. Was having a tough time without this rather useful little tool :)
