With mpl 1.3.0 (packaged for Raring by Thomas Kluyver):

Ran 1465 tests in 402.499s
FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=1, SKIP=5, errors=1331)

But matplotlib itself is working pretty well. The output is full with
error messages like:

IOError: Baseline image
'/home/goyo/result_images/test_triangulation/tripcolor1-expected.svg'
does not exist.

It maybe that distro packages do not ship with baseline images. Looks
sensible to me since there must be an awful lot of them and most users
do not need them.
