Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of sympy the autopkgtest of octave-symbolic fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
sympy from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing.
In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
sympy                  from testing    1.7.1-1
octave-symbolic        from testing    2.9.0-3
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of sympy to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
