Oh, really? This was completely unexpected for me. Perhaps this is due
to that I'm the maintainer for Debian, and because Ubuntu is so close
to Debian the package my name remains as the original maintainer.

Anyway, PyTables 1.1.1 depends on HDF5 1.6.4 and I'm not sure whether
this is in Ubuntu or not, but I strongly suspect that it is not (it
should be 1.6.2 instead). HDF5 1.6.4 is even having problems to enter
testing distribution in Debian (they are waiting for a recent lam
package there).

So, all in all, I don't think that PyTables would be ready for Ubuntu
Breezy anyway. Some time ago, I've received some patch from an Ubuntu
developer (Sebastian Dr=C3ge <sl...@ub...>). Maybe someone might
like to get in touch with him.
