Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.30 Severity: minor User: [email protected] Usertags: cruft
Hi, I have got old, stale, python3.10 cache files from autopkgtest on my system. I think that simply using some modern DebHelper plugin would ensure that the .pyc files are correctly generated on postinst and correctly removed in post rm. To clean-up the past I suggest a "rm -f /usr/share/autopkgtest/lib/__pycache__/*-cpython-310.pyc" in preinst/postinst.
