Should depend on python-numeric

Confirmed: as reported in a duplicate, the problem is the missing dependency on python-numeric (and the temporary fix consists in installing python-numeric).

Hello,

This bug should be fixed by merging my branch lp:~matttbe/ggz-python/dependences into lp:ubuntu/ggz-python

(A new package is available on my ppa)

This bug was fixed in the package ggz-python - 0.0.14.1-1ubuntu5

---------------
ggz-python (0.0.14.1-1ubuntu5) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
   - Added new dependences:
    + python-numeric (LP: #474734)
    + gnushogi (LP: #484957)
   - Fixed lintian warnings by adding ${misc:Depends}
   - Bump Standard-Version to 3.9.1

Thanks for the patch. I've sponsored this, so it should build and be available for Natty shortly.

In the future, if you've already prepared your change as a bzr branch, it's easier if you propose merging that branch into the Ubuntu branch instead of subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to the bug (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship. Note that you should only ever need to do one - create a merge proposal or subscribe sponsors)

I am a little concerned about the long-term maintainability of this package, since it hasn't seen any upstream updates in almost 3 years. More urgently, though, I'm concerned about its dependence on Numeric. The Numeric module was replaced by NumPy almost 5 years ago, and I'm confident that it's only a matter of time before Numeric is removed from Ubuntu. I think it would be very productive to update ggz-python to use NumPy, especially if you can get in touch with upstream and coordinate such a patch with them.

Thank you for your sponsorship!

I'm sorry I usually do that but I was not able to propose merging my branch. Please have a look at these webpages, there is no "Propose for merging" button! I don't know why => https://code.launchpad.net/~matttbe/ggz-python/dependences & https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/natty/ggz-python/natty

Yesterday I reported this problem about Numeric on IRC (#ubuntu-motu) and I forgot to mention it here :)
I've added a comment on debian bug report with cc to Josef Spillner (from GGZ team) but there is no anwser :-/
But I don't know if this project is still alive!
