Package: pygopherd Version: 2.0.16 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The default version of python in sid is 2.4, but the modules of pygopherd are installed only in /usr/share/pycentral/ (dh_pycentral). python 2.4 use modules from /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ We can specify python2.3 in /etc/init.d/pygopherd to force using the old version of python, or modify the rules script and make it future-safe The following patch enables the package to work with python 2.4, but will broke python 2.3 compatibility. Sorry I don't understand the python packaging system enough to provide a 2.3/2.4 compatible one, like in 'python-imaging' diff -rpuN pygopherd-2.0.16.orig/debian/control pygopherd-2.0.16/debian/control --- pygopherd-2.0.16.orig/debian/control 2006-09-11 16:10:13.000000000 +0200 +++ pygopherd-2.0.16/debian/control 2006-09-15 20:17:08.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,10 +2,10 @@ Source: pygopherd Section: net Priority: optional Maintainer: John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -Build-Depends-Indep: python-central (>= 0.5), debhelper (>> 5.0.37.2), python, python (>= 2.3) +Build-Depends-Indep: python-central (>= 0.5), debhelper (>> 5.0.37.2), python (>= 2.4) Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.37.2), python-central (>= 0.5) Standards-Version: 3.5.2 -XS-Python-Version: current, >= 2.3 +XS-Python-Version: current, >= 2.4 Package: pygopherd Architecture: all diff -rpuN pygopherd-2.0.16.orig/debian/rules pygopherd-2.0.16/debian/rules --- pygopherd-2.0.16.orig/debian/rules 2006-09-11 16:10:13.000000000 +0200 +++ pygopherd-2.0.16/debian/rules 2006-09-15 20:16:44.000000000 +0200 @@ -89,7 +89,6 @@ binary-indep: build install dh_installinfo # dh_undocumented dh_installchangelogs - dh_pycentral dh_python dh_link dh_strip -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.16 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages pygopherd depends on: ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii mime-support 3.37-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python 2.4.3-11 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-simpletal 4.1-6 Simple TAL, TALES and METAL implem pygopherd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
