Dear Maintainer,
In python-requests-cache upstream ships one python module, probably by mistake,
as executable.
Lintian reports this as a warning:
W: python3-requests-cache: executable-not-elf-or-script
[usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests_cache/models/response.py]
I'm fixing this now with the debian/rules lines:
execute_after_dh_fixperms:
chmod 644
debian/python3-requests-cache/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests_cache/models/response.py
This commit contains my fix:
https://salsa.debian.org/plenae/python-requests-cache/-/commit/a859e613293c9bd6621d344b6596c6a6635e1fa1
The previous commit illustrates the issue.
It would be better to have dh_fixperms understand which files in python
packages are modules and should not be executable, and which are scripts, which
should be +x.
Best regards,
Pieter
