As a couple of people have noticed, my matplotlib-daily PPA has become
broken the other day, especially for 64-bit users. The root cause of this
is that building the docs now requires numpydoc, which is only packaged in
the development release of Ubuntu.
I've taken this as a prompt to switch the daily recipe builds to raring. I
think most people who had added my PPA were interested in a Python 3
package of matplotlib. So I've backported the 1.2.0 package to precise and
quantal, in another PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~takluyver/+archive/python3
If you were using python3-matplotlib from my PPA on precise or quantal, I
recommend that you switch to my python3 PPA. It's actually a downgrade, but
it's a stable version that shouldn't do anything unexpected.
If people want to keep running development versions of matplotlib on
precise/quantal, speak up: I can reconsider turning off the daily builds
for those versions.
Thanks,
Thomas

Technical detail, for anyone interested: the architecture-independent -data
and -doc packages are built on i386. When the docs fail to build, the -data
package isn't created. The amd64 build succeeded, but the
architecture-dependent packages require a precisely matching version of the
-data package. apt complains that python[3]-matplotlib has a missing
dependency.
