[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#809700: python-astropy: build-dependency on python-matplotlib should be >= 1.5.0

[Ole Streicher]

I just installed 1.4.2-3.1 on my linux-x86_64 machine, and there the
imports work well:

import matplotlib._path

and

import matplotlib.image as mimg

etc. (everything that was in the exception trace). Therefore, I would
guess that it works with 1.4.2. On kfreebsd, I also found the .so file
(/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/_path.cpython-34m-x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu.so);
however I couldn't test it.

Does the imports above work well with them?

Best
