Dear Maintainer,
When Python 3.8 is supported, as in Ubuntu focal or Debian experimental,
the 3.8 extensions are not built because of this error in the configure
process:
checking for python script directory... Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 20, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/sysconfig.py", line 512, in get_path
return get_paths(scheme, vars, expand)[name]
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/sysconfig.py", line 502, in get_paths
return _expand_vars(scheme, vars)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/sysconfig.py", line 172, in _expand_vars
_extend_dict(vars, get_config_vars())
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/sysconfig.py", line 550, in get_config_vars
_init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/sysconfig.py", line 421, in _init_posix
_temp = __import__(name, globals(), locals(), ['build_time_vars'], 0)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sysconfigdata_m_linux_x86_64-linux-gnu'
Simply unsetting the _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM / _PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME
variables in debian/rules as in this patch:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/447772089/cracklib2_2.9.6-2build1_2.9.6-2ubuntu1.diff.gz
fixes this. It seems to me that dh-python itself now does a better job
of setting these variables when needed.
Cheers,
mwh
