Source: kcov Version: 43+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Justification: packages must not depend on python-is-python3 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability
The package description of python-is-python3 clearly indicates that no package may depend on it. Instead, python3 should be used for invoking Python. kcov already does this (despite having a few scripts with a #!/usr/bin/python line), so the dependency can simply be dropped. It also happens that this dependency prevents cross compilation. Helmut
