CI failures from test_schema_against_crds.py are not related and also seen in an unrelated PR over at #717

but unfortunately it does block the testing of this fix here.

[braingram]

The warning suggests making a view. Can we use that approach here?

[braingram]

Let's find a way that doesn't involve a private undocumented numpy method.

[pllim]

This patch is copied from astropy , see astropy/astropy#19584 . The author of that PR is a developer of both astropy and numpy, so if he cannot find a way, I doubt we can.

[melanieclarke]

This fix is consistent with how astropy addressed it:
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/19584/changes

[pllim]

If you want a proper investigation, I can close this PR and open a JIRA ticket instead.

[braingram]

#718 fixes the incompatibility by removing the dtype setting.

[melanieclarke]

Remaining diffs from the devdeps are as expected, for upcoming changes in photutils and numpy/scipy.
