Hamish,

I'm very sorry for the delay replying. I've been very busy (recently
moved into a new country) and somehow I missed your email.

The python-scipy-core package for sparc is incomplete, see size for
sparc in http://packages.debian.org/testing/python/python-scipy-core .

And build failed, see:

http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=python-scipy-core&ver=0.3.2-7&arch=sparc&file=log

But from the above build log, it seems the bug is not in
python-scipy-core, but some other python-related dependency in sparc.
The first strange line is:

--------
Setting up python2.4-minimal (2.4.3-7) ...
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
--------

Perhaps a new rebuild of python-scipy-core will solve the issue. I don't
understand why the failed empty package was uploaded anyway to the
archives anyway...

At any rate, wsjt is not at fault here.

Regards,

José Fonseca
