reopen 638882 retitle 638882 python-indicate: Python extensions linked with libpython2.X thanks
$ sudo aptitude install python-indicate The following NEW packages will be installed: libdbusmenu-glib3{a} libindicate-gtk2{a} libindicate5{a} libpython2.7{a} python-indicate python2.7{a} python2.7-minimal{a}This is normal and expected since the package is built to support python 2.6 and 2.7 at the same time.
No, it's not normal. In Debian, Python extension modules should not be linked with libpython2.X. If you rebuild the package, dh_python2 will warn of this: W: dh_python2:424: public extension linked with libpython2.6: _indicate.so W: dh_python2:424: public extension linked with libpython2.7: _indicate.so See also first paragraph of Python Policy 2.1. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
