Install libpng when matplotlib is used. #44

Open mvousden opened 8 years ago

Matplotlib requires libpng; ensure this is installed where matplotlib is used.

The python-matplotlib debian package currently installs the libpng it needs to run. This issue arises from people trying to install matplotlib via pip or conda (which is usually a better idea). I argue that people who want to install matplotlib in this way understand that debian-package-level dependencies may not be managed for them, particularly if the machine is designed to be lean.
