Status in Physical Quantities for Python: Fix Released

Bug description:
The units of an uncertainty are not changed by division. This bug can be reproduced as follows

>>> L = pq.UncertainQuantity(1, pq.m, 0.1)
>>> print L / pq.m

In the above the quantity has dimensionless units (as expected), but the uncertainty has dimensions of "m". This error can be fixed with the following patch.
