Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package i2c-tools [ Reason ] During the "transition" from Python 2 to Python 3, I forgot to update the Suggests: entry from python-smbus to python3-smbus. As a consequence apt suggests a non-existing package, and users do not get suggested to install python3-smbus. [ Impact ] To be honest, if the unblock isn't granted, it is not the end of the world, and I would totally understand if this bug is just closed. However given a user bothered to report a bug (initially with severity important), and that the changes are trivial, I am just giving it a try. [ Tests ] Only manual installation of the package has been done to test the changes. [ Risks ] The risks are very very low, as the changes are trivial, do not concern the shipped code but only the Suggests: entry, and given that apt does not install suggested packages by default. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing unblock i2c-tools/4.2-2
