In #489253, ATLAS support was re-enabled.

In #519233, python-gtk2 was made to depend on python-numpy.

The net result is that something as small and simple as wicd now

depends

on libgfortran and libblas in unstable.

I ran my own systems for some time without python-numpy, it was

only that

one issue in the sodoku game. I don't think that is sufficient

justification

for adding such a huge dependency chain like ATLAS.

I was going to recommend wicd as the wireless network support tool

for

Emdebian Grip but I cannot do that if that means installing

fortran!

Making fortran essential for all GUI python support isn't going to

help

developments like openmoko or other embedded / small machine

purposes.

Yes, I agree, that this should be resolved. I always thought you can
install python-numpy without atlas. At least it used to be that way,
if this is not the case, it's a bug to be fixed.

Please also note that ATLAS is now obsolete and in the process of being
removed from Debian, see this thread: https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/4311acc16afb473599c79bd5b17a8b734c2f8d2b.camel@debian.org

This bug is actually more about BLAS/LAPACK in general than about a
specific implementation (ATLAS). I’m therefore changing the title accordingly.
