Bug#660318: libnetcdfc++5: experimental package fails to install

[Paul Wise]

Package: libnetcdfc++5
Version: 1:4.1.3-1~exp2
Severity: serious

On my machine which is pinned to experimental, netcdf has overlapping
packages and they fail to install. Here is an excerpt from a recent
upgrade, irrelevant packages stripped.
