These are only warning messages. You don't need astropy/sampy unless you are interested in VO or SAMP support (used in astronomy and astrophysics).

How did you install Vuze? What steps did you take?

@Evaria: if you installed veusz from the standard Ubuntu repositories, you should not be encountering this error at all....

Here is the output of the following Terminal command in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

python-astropy and sampy are not in the list of package dependencies in the output above.

So they are not required when working in veusz. Those are optional packages....

The version 1.15 is very old and bug. It doesn't support astropy or sampy, anyway. More recent versions can be obtained here if you're using an older Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~jeremysanders/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Can you help with this problem?
