Hi, the debian maintainers are already aware of the new versions, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486074 According to them, matplotlib 0.98.x will be uploaded to experimental first, before it migrates to unstable. Unstable has been updated to 0.91.3 some days ago. Manuel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
