Package: python3-napari-console
Version: 0.1.0~a0-3
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: drop-qt5
Control: block 1070215 by -1
Dear Maintainer,
Your binary package python3-napari-console currently Depends on python3-qtpy.
The upstream qtpy package is intended to be a metapackage, able to
work with any of PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2 or PySide6 as the Qt backend.
Until now, the Debian python3-qtpy package has Depended on PyQt5, but
that is about to change. From version 2.4.2-3 of python3-qtpy
(currently in experimental), it no longer Depends on any Qt backend,
so these will need to be explicitly listed in the package's Depends
field. To help, there are also new metapackages python3-qtpy-pyqt5,
python3-qtpy-pyqt6 and python3-qtpy-pyside6 already in testing that
depend on python3-qtpy and the respective Qt backend.
Action required: update the Depends field to depend on the required Qt
backend packages.
Approach 1 (the "best" approach):
Identify the Python backend packages required and add these to
Depends. (These dependencies could be PyQt5 dependencies, but they
could equally be PyQt6 or PySide6 dependencies.)
Approach 2 (should work in all cases, but will pull in more than needed):
Add python3-qtpy-pyqt5 as an explicit dependency to the Depends field,
or replace the python3-qtpy dependency with python3-qtpy-pyqt5 (as the
latter Depends on python3-qtpy). This will exactly replicate the
current behaviour.
Before uploading a new version of your package to close this bug,
please do both build and test it using python3-qtpy 2.4.2-3 from
experimental.
I intend to upload python-qtpy 2.4.2-4 to unstable with this change in
mid-to-late January. I will do an NMU or team upload if required for
this bug from mid-January.
For a background on the reason for this change, please see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1070215
Best wishes,
Julian

Looking at napari-console:
- python3-napari-console is a plugin for a GUI program so doesn't need
Qt dependencies for the binary package; the package for the GUI needs
to handle that.
- build-time tests are disabled so a test build-dep is not needed
- autopkgtest tests are present and so need to have a Qt dependency
but this is already present transitively via python3-napari
(#1089943).
At a minimum level, this bug is sorted.
Of course napari-console and napari can work with multiple Qt
implementations so testing against PyQt5, PyQt6 and PySide6 would be
possible. (napari might also want to split the packaging, with one for
the executable with a PyQt dependency and a module package without one
to make that work nicely.)
