Public bug reported:
I tried running a demo for matplotlib
(https://matplotlib.org/mpl_examples/api/date_demo.py) and I got an
error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/usr/share/matplotlib
/mpl-data/sample_data/goog.npy'
I did not investigate thoroughly but for me, the files are in the wrong
location.
/usr/share/matplotlib/sample_data should be located in
/usr/share/matplotlib/mpl_data/sample_data.
At least this is where matplotlib.cbook.get_sample_data() function will
for its files not in /usr/share/matplotlib/sample_data
I don't know why it's the wrong location on ubuntu ???
For a quick fix, I made a symbolic link for sample_date in mpl_data
directory.
