Package: python-twisted Version: 18.9.0-4 Severity: important Howdy.. I recently updated 'python-twisted', and at the next reboot, some servers using 'twistd' failed to start. I reproduced the problem with a simple invocation of the /usr/bin/twist command:
$ twist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/twist", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3250, in <module> @_call_aside File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3234, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3263, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 583, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 900, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 786, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'PyHamcrest>=1.9.0' distribution was not found and is required by Twisted I know the PyHamcrest dependency was adjusted in the recent release, perhaps something got broken as a side-effect? A different sid box with python-twisted-18.9.0-3 (and also no python-hamcrest) still works. thanks, -Brian -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python-twisted depends on: ii python-twisted-core 18.9.0-4 ii python2 2.7.17-1 python-twisted recommends no packages. python-twisted suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
