Package: scapy Version: 1.1.1-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello,
According to the XS-Python-Version field of debian/control, scapy is useable with python 2.3, however it isn't because it uses decorators which have been introduced in python 2.4 AFAIK. Thus, the package fails to byte-compile the module with the following error: Compiling /var/lib/python-support/python2.3/scapy.py ... File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.3/scapy.py", line 1898 @classmethod ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax In debian/control, it should be: XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4 Regards, Arnaud Fontaine -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-maggie Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages scapy depends on: ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o scapy recommends no packages.
