Dear Mentors, dear Debian Python Team, I'm an astro-physicist working for the Virtual Observatory project at the University of Heidelberg. Recently, I prepared a local package for "wheezy" for the Python application "gavodachs", a piece of software that helps users (mainly from the astronomical community) to run a Virtual Observatory-compliant data center. The software requires to run a PostgreSQL database server.
Currently, I'm testing the installing and uninstalling of my package. So far, I've noticed one main issue for my package: (a) "sudo apt-get install python-gavodachs" installs the .py files to /usr/share/pyshared/gavo/ , and installs .pyc files both to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gavo/ and /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gavo/ . Symlinks to /usr/share/pyshared/gavo/ are created in /usr/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/gavo/ . (b) "sudo apt-get remove python-gavodachs" deletes /usr/share/pyshared/gavo/ and /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gavo/ . Under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gavo/ all symlinks are removed but the byte-compiled modules (.pyc) are still present. If I do a "sudo apt-get install python-gavodachs" followed by a "sudo apt-get remove python-gavodachs", there is the same situation as described above. Additionally, warnings of the type dpkg: warning: while removing python-gavodachs, directory '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gavo/<subdir>' not empty so not removed are spitted out. What is the reason behind this issue? You'll find the code in a git repository at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/gavodachs.git .
