Package: dh-python Version: 1.20131021-2 Severity: important The dh-python package in Debian has its test suite disabled via debian/rules, with a 'FIXME' comment. The reason for this, it appears, is that t201 is completely broken wrt the actual symlink handling in dh-python.
tests/t201/Makefile includes the following check:
[ "`readlink
debian/python-foo/usr/lib/python$(DPY)/dist-packages/foo/absolute_link_to_tmp`"
= "/tmp" ]
[ "`readlink
debian/python-foo/usr/lib/python$(DPY)/dist-packages/foo/link_to_parent_dir`" =
".." ]
But dh_python2 unconditionally moves symlinks from /usr/lib/python* to
/usr/share/pyshared, replacing them with relative symlinks in the original
directory.
for package, pdetails in dh.packages.items():
[...]
if not private_dir:
share(package, stats, options)d exists(pyshared_dir):
I don't know which of these you consider "correct", but they're obviously
inconsistent, which makes it impossible to use the test suite for the
purpose of detecting regressions in the code.
I'm happy to provide a patch if you can tell me which should be changed, the
code or the test.
Bypassing this check gives me a subsequent failure in tests t202, t204, and
t206 because of hard-coded references to python2.6 that are easily fixed,
and presumably would have been noticed if the testsuite hadn't been disabled
in the package.
