Control: affects -1 + src:rmlint
[ Reason ]
This bug has been present for a long time but only just stumbled
upon. rmlint-gui installs a Python package with an invalid version
number, causing other packages to mysteriously break when rmlint-gui
is installed. Only spyder has been reported to be affected so far,
but I expect others to be equally impacted.
[ Impact ]
Some other unrelated packages will continue to break in strange ways.
It may well also cause headaches to maintainers of those packages.
[ Tests ]
No tests cover the affected code, unfortunately, to the best of my
knowledge. However, the package rmlint-gui doesn't work anyway (I
had never used it, but just tried and it crashed immediately with a
SyntaxError). Nevertheless, its mere presence on a Debian system will
cause the above error. Upstream is now showing signs of life again,
though the package does not currently have an active Debian
maintainer, so it may be dropped from testing soon; I'll file an RC
bug against the current version in a moment.
[ Risks ]
I cannot see any risks to fixing one bug in a piece of broken
software.
[ 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 (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Apply an upstream patch to fix the Python version number.
[ Other info ]
This is an NMU because the maintainer is MIA.
