Bug#841610: statsmodels: FTBFS: TypeError: cannot sort an Index object in-place, use sort_values instead

[Ole Streicher]

Control: tags -1 patch

Upstream there is already a simple patch available for the TypeError:

https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/pull/3239

For convenience, it is attached.

The IOErrors are gone with the newest Pandas version.

However, the ValueError do not disappear when adding tzdata to the
build-depends.

[Sandro Tosi]

* the Anova errors seem related to
https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/issues/3228

* "ValueError: Inferred frequency MS from passed dates does not
conform to passed frequency M" could be related to the absence of
tzdata (but the last function of the stacktrace is in pandas so the
bug may be there)

* "TypeError: cannot sort an Index object in-place, use sort_values
instead" may or may not be a problem in pandas (since there was a
recent update of pandas you might want to retry and see if that fixed
them, if not maybe you can ask statsmodels upstream what they think

thanks!
