Comment:
> Why should we keep this if nobody can install it ? The problem could
even be solved if there was on some page of the manual some instructions
saying that we do not know how to fix this bug (it's not our fault after
all) but that one library should be installed manually ?
We don't have anything about experimental packages elsewhere, do we?
> Honestly, why do we care ? It's not "experimental", it's just plain
broken.
See #7438; it builds fine on boxen.math. Let's continue the discussion
about graphviz there.
If you want to open a sage-devel discussion about how non-broken
experimental packages should be, that's fine. In my view - and as you
know, I am pretty conservative on such things - experimental can be as
broken as they want to be. ''Someone'' probably does have the expertise
to fix each of them, and removing them completely means no one will even
have the chance.
