As part of Biopython 1.69 we renamed the extension-less text files to *.rst and created symlinks intended for backward compatibility:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/91e7eb02c2bbc1b91949171947b226c9fa09ace2 https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/4677c7def7e906ae2494dfcc4ecd590f46050366 Both the *.rst files and the symlinks should be included in the Biopython release tar-ball via our MANIFEST.in file: https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/9e7a01dbd88d239c0efc397f924cbbc65d6ac8ee My guess is that Debian needs to move/copy the new *.rst files now (eg NEWS.rst), in addition to or instead of the old names which are now symlinks (eg NEWS). (As some point I'd be happy to remove the symlinks) Peter
