The only dependency pulling in the python-qgis package is the Recommends by the qgis package. Because there is no version requirement the package is not forced to update when a new version is available in the archive, although this is usually what happens. Recommends is not as strict a dependency as Depends is, it allows to keep a package at the version as installed if it allows the upgrade of other packages explicitly depended upon. It probably makes sense to move the python-qgis Recommends to Depends and add a strict version requirement on the same binary version as is done for qgis-providers too. See the attached patch for example. Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
