Dear Olly,
thank you for the bug report.
I apologize : geophar was ready for python-wxgtk3.0, but I did not
upgrade the dependency in the control file (mostly borrowed from the
defunct package wxgeometrie).
I upload the fix shortly!
Best regards, Georges.

We've been working on migrating the archive to using wxpython3.0 instead
of wxwidgets2.8 for a few months, and this process is close to complete,
so jessie won't be releasing with wxwidgets2.8 - you can see the release
team's tracker here:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/wxpython3.0.html
As I warned you a few weeks ago while geophar was still in NEW, you'll
need to update it to use wxpython3.0 if you want it to be in jessie.
I've included the template email from the bugs filed for the transition
which contains information which is likely to be useful for updating to
wxpython3.0.
The wxPython 3.0 API mostly adds to the wxPython2.8 API. Many packages
work with wxPython 3.0 without any changes, but there are a few
incompatibilities. For example, wx.Color is no longer supported as
an alias for wx.Colour, and some constants which were deprecated in 2.8
have been removed. All the removed constants I'm aware of were set to 0
in wxPython 2.8, so removing them is still compatible with 2.8.
To assist updating to wxPython 3.0, I've put together a script which
will help make the mechanical changes required. This is in a git repo
on collab-maint along with a README about using it and updating packages
for wxPython 3.0 in general:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git
The script has some options to control the sorts of changes it makes -
see the README and --help output for more information - you can view
the latest version of the README online here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git/tree/README
I've developed this script by trying to convert 20+ packages. Please
try it out on your package - in many cases, it should be enough to get
your package working (if it doesn't already) - if it does, please upload
(and close this bug).
If the script doesn't do the job, please let me know (or improve the
script if you can figure out what it needs to do to get your package
working).
Another issue you may hit is that wxWidgets 3.0 now defaults to enabling
its WXDEBUG checks for incorrect API usage, so some applications will
emit scary sounding assertion failures. These are unlikely to
actually be new, just in a default build of 2.8, such incorrect uses
were handled quietly behind the scenes. Sometimes these are easy to
fix, but if not you can easily patch the application to tell wx 3.0 to
handle them in the same way wx 2.8 does - details of how to do so are in
the README:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wx-migration-tools.git/tree/README
Cheers,
Olly
