Package: python3-spglib
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: normal
We have dh_python3 to help automatically identify python package
dependencies when building a package.
It's unable to identify spglib, however. For instance a pymatgen build
log shows
dh_python3 -a -O--buildsystem=pybuild
I: dh_python3 pydist:302: Cannot find package that provides spglib. Please add
package that provides it to Build-Depends or add "spglib python3-spglib" line
to debian/py3dist-overrides or add proper dependency to Depends by hand and
ignore this info.
I'm not sure exactly why dh_python3 can't identify it. I would have
thought it could find out which package provides
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spglib. But it's not doing that. Maybe
it's a bug in dh-python.
But I notice that python3-spglib doesn't provide the .dist-info
directory that most other python packages provide. I guess dh-python
is using the dist-info mechanism to identify packages. Perhaps we
should file a bug against dh-python for it to run something like
"dpkg -S /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/" if it doesn't find
a dist-info entry.
In the meantime, I figure spglib's lack of dist-info occurs because
it's a cmake build rather than a python setuptools build, in which
case the problem sits alongside Bug#1061263.
