I am not sure who controls the modules for Julia, the problem was with two
modules who's versions were not compatible.  After filing the ticket, one
of the modules updated to a compatible version, and all is working again.
If it is not Debian that is controlling this, do you know who is the
gatekeeper for these?  Not everything is at the "latest" version, so I was
guessing there was some intermediate group involved.

Thanks,

Bug#978005: Julia Plots scaling error with Plots.GR

2020-12-24 Thread Derek Woolverton
Package: Julia
Version: 1.5.3+dfsg-2+b2

Plots using GR are not scaled correctly.

Plots went through a change in its handling of scaling and for a brief time
was out of sync with the Plots.GR sub-package.
Currently my installation shows
Plots v1.9.1
GR v0.49.1

I believe they added a scaling fix to Plots to match up with GR v0.53,
while Debian seems to be ahead on Plots and behind on GR.

The original issues was documented here,
https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/3133

But in Debian, with the mis-matches of fixes, it's demonstrating the
opposite (ie plots with GR are *tiny*)  Either Plots needs to be rolled
back to 1.8, or GR moved forward

I am running Debian in WSL with the testing distribution,
Linux diginomad 4.19.128-microsoft-standard #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 12:58:10 UTC
