Subject: python3-pigpio: recommends pigpio which is not in unstable Package: python3-pigpio Version: 1.78-1.1 Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends Severity: normal
Dear maintainer(s), I noticed that package python3-pigpio recommends pigpio, which is not available in unstable. I don't think that a binary package named pigpio has ever been in Debian. I see that pigpio exists or used to exist in Raspbian (checking on a Raspbian bookworm, I see that there is a transitional package named pigpio with this depends: Depends: libpigpiod-if2-1 (= 1.79-1+rpt1), libpigpiod-if1 (= 1.79-1+rpt1), libpigpiod-if-dev (= 1.79-1+rpt1), pigpio-tools (= 1.79-1+rpt1), libpigpio1 (= 1.79-1+rpt1), libpigpio-dev (= 1.79-1+rpt1), pigpiod (= 1.79-1+rpt1) ) The Debian policy says that packages from main should recommend only packages from main: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#the-main-archive-area So, in the Debian archive, I think that the recommends should not be there, but I don't know if just dropped or replaced by something else. I had a look at how python3-pigpio tries to interface with GPIO and I don't see why pigpio would be needed, but I'm not an expert on those packages.
