Source: python3.7 Version: 3.7.3-2 Severity: important Tags: patch Bootstrapping python3.7 is difficult, because it has multiple dependency cycles through xvfb. For instance:
meson depends on a package built from src:python3.7, which Build-Depends on xvfb, which depends on a package built from src:libdrm, which Build-Depends on meson. python3.7 only uses xvfb for running its test suite and xvfb is not used when building with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Consequently this cycle can be broken by annotating the dependency with <!nocheck>. Helmut
