Package: python3-numpy-dev
Version: 1:2.3.4+ds-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Control: affects -1 src:plplot

Dear Maintainer,

For more context on the issue, please see Bug #1119760 [1], which was 
filed against the plplot package. Plplot started to FTBFS once swig 4.4.0 
was uploaded to unstable. I traced the bug and found that the problem 
originates from NumPy. I reported the issue upstream [2].

In the meantime, I “fixed” the bug in plplot with a hacky patch [3]. I 
would prefer to have the issue fixed in python3-numpy-dev rather than 
using this workaround.

To summarize, the problem occurs because NumPy's code generator, 
generate_numpy_api.py, produces code incompatible with SWIG 4.4 (it 
worked with version 4.3).

I am tagging this bug report "patch" because there is a proposal for a 
patch in the GitHub issue. Do not hesitate to ask me to produce a debdiff 
if necessary.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
