Dear Maintainer, gnome-pkg-tools 0.19.5 (previewed in Ubuntu's 0.19.4ubuntu1) introduces a build dependency loop with pygobject, preventing them from being rebuilt together. This will be a problem during any Python 3 transition. I noticed this during my recent Python 3.5 archive test rebuild for Ubuntu. The crappy solution I used to break the loop was to just remove the python3 and python3-gi Depends from gnome-pkg-tools' control.in file. Then I uploaded this and rebuilt pygobject. After pygobject rebuilt successfully, I re-enabled the g-p-t Depends and closed the loop. A better solution would probably be to split gnome-pkg-tools into separate binary packages. Python 3 is only needed for the pkg-gnome-compat-desktop-file file, which AFAICT, isn't required to build pygobject. Splitting the binary package would allow pygobject to depend on the dh bits it needs without introducing the circular dependency. - -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVlB5eAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/s0wP/0f/CHZEEJZ1+hqajwz4CFBP z0S3CUE2ph83cLvnf/0GcxI0Sh7Srrwnv1WEEtUpnXiSILCXR7yDfYglre/bWVPM qxrPgN6xvMypxSmIsLfIR5SB8YXOsRnX3WPV2VqsXfsblDUrmvS1A2GAssNYlWB+ 6twMK1jKTyzSKpE1yNsY+vvoRAl5aOIn7VGqZl8nSjze9nRdh7k1HVPRY9oo6akF 6gXAR5MPOVU/a38Qqo6C1jDQdeFOnq5DXG0ocU86uBHDJdcEFpnpZQ/J7O9i5uSJ SqnwJFB8orsncj4Mca34rvwufBFODKRZ8CaK+TdyqPNNe+HrJ5BbW2ujpHP9R11g NzAYgbhE6kWhLpGtBD/woRBxguBMOV2oOSFTV7nFD30hs/MVg7u/XAO0akman+Gw FB+cqI7jJyTW/XqHPDuDmk2+8H1UzQYWoXSEcC9n1kKqPV7AO14zZVY0hV/bCfFh +F6OyLMTPGe4SrIbXIyLO0fkplSHiimMRafsH23YiZmNQC8cyNwNjdAmf6ef/0DK F4I0dBqT9H0F1qekqstLZlaZEWdKADBeCh76NTwr1c7aEXKbIoPH8lRVm9dflFgL REae22+bx5rynyKZJ7G6XiKSJvJxFaSP0nBn/N5pgheJ/ESQY+BJVICAXLJJphRc guXHEA7USOE21Tmhy/TZ =JEp4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
