Package: python-astropy Version: 1.2.1-1 In trying to backport this version of astropy to jessie, I discovered that it doesn't build against wcslib-dev 4.24 as advertised in debian/control.
The reason is that astropy/wcs/src/wcslib_wrap.c and astropy/wcs/wcs.py both refer to WCSHDO_P14 which was only introduced in wcslib 5.13. Incidentally, that means the statement in astropy/wcs/wcs.py that "versions 5.8 and later on the 5.x series are known to work" is of questionable accuracy; I guess upstream will need to be told. Browsing through version control I see that this broke in astropy 1.1.2. (I'll probably backport 1.1.1 instead, since my actual requirement is (>= 1.0) and upgrading wcslib in jessie risks breaking other things.)
