Hello,
I have updated my debian packages for Matplotlib, and I put the installation
instructions on my page: http://anakonda.altervista.org/
Hello Vittorio,
Thanks much for doing this. I am just now taking it for a test drive
on a debian machine I have access to.
Two (possibly related) things I found surprising were the install size
(21MB!) and an ATLAS dependency. I suspect the latter comes from a
scipy requirment, which matplotlib does not depend on.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
Is the ATLAS requirement intentional, or a vestigial dependency from
some other package in your collection?
Thanks again,
JDH
