Hi again, Sorry for not getting back to you earlier[1]. [quote] > > Why do disco-master Pre-Depends on python-disco? I see nothing in the > preinst script that suggests that python-disco must be present before > disco-master is unpacked. Python module "disco" is needed for starting python-master. Python-setuptools on disco python module must be triggered before running /etc/init.d/disco-master start, which is done after installing python-disco. Trying to start disco-master before configuring python-disco package will fail. [/quote] You only need a Pre-Depends if you are starting disco-master in the preinst script (which does not make sense, since the package has yet to be unpacked at that point). If a package A depends on B, then the postinst script of B will always be run before the postinst of A. If you can avoid Pre-Depending then please do, since the strength of the dependency makes some difficult and you need approval to do it.

Are you suggesting to move references from: Build-Depends-Indep: python-sphinx, libjs-jquery to Build-Depends? With that set, cowbuilder --build disco_0.3.1-1.dsc --buildresult . - --binary-arch is building packages fine. But I do not understand the reason for -B option in autobuild scripts. Do you have some references that can clarify reason for it. Until now, I tested packages without - --binary-arch build. I see now that this is a requirement. [/quote] Moving those packages (as you now have done) to Build-Depends is one solution. You should be able reproduce the original issue by moving them back to Build-Depends-Indep and running cowbuilder with --debbuildopts "-B". [quote] > > Have you contacted (or considered to contact) the python application > team about team maintaining the package? (See [1] for more info). Yes, but I am not sure is this belongs to DMPT or PAPT. There are modules and application packages... [/quote] Have you tried contacting any of the teams? Either team should be able to help you (at least by telling you, that you should contact the other team). Again I am not really into Python, so I cannot do much for you here. Once again, sorry for the late reply. Another time, feel free to ping me privately if I do not reply to you within 4 days. :) ~Niels [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/10/msg00213.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNA1J/AAoJEAVLu599gGRCbtAQAIXUixlPcgpRXOqZwQlWFQf+ EqGBKiisv6cQtfzLikiwe94DO4UXkeUXqiUYNwx7A6liIeqT6vtcEHboMa0W8ALk QupNn1Kt9IVLqgi51NZh6KB+vveYNo8xL4B++zwiq8GGd0+W2Ul8X2/eGascXrbl coQO+uQ2MbpMWhTMS+Af4SUzJ9KHv8QFJfUwqxI244u188tUNCiujOoc3aiwayUO 7LZKQm8BruPnAVinIUjQ/I/bE6CBQ8ir5C4y/DEXq2Oa22YI1eci5XKkjchvxqtU XRDnuTgiZ07Xw+iHwkCflZ5utHofiueloOTNZ1oP/hnSqi9Cd0zb7bRhXDaVAlXz B1jKGyhBk4jUI0hbc+735XKNmUgutFz8TrpZsWpJsjDPqANlFckQiV1IBI+pWN47 6SNOp93FhGaPr7gANKmHLLXToQnNE18aLYA2cvS0ksEQBg18cE/UtEHX6IH4HLol r5novmJD+BWbzhoahTqOihdAdX3CsOAEvKtB5YDlK+54AJJYQeeJd5LYEiHSCXdw E4ZBKo95Q4Bl/w0HiYGwI5rCri6JwNRjxxiZ0LDdCLDvv+GRi39LpX/SMbd/0s6L z5carlQGPfCT4x34bqkIdMfLtPqKjBPbrjVkp4VEnyQtJgzLyXPUnKuUIAdhtEDu z5Wuk1mbkBWnoBwK6Buj =Imx0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
