Package: deborphan Version: 1.7.30 Severity: normal I have certbot explicitly installed, which depends on python3-certbot, on python3-cryptography, which depends on (virtual?) packages python3-cffi-backend-api-min (<= 9729), python3-cffi-backend-api-max (>= 9729).
Runing deborpha --guess-python suggests uninstalling python3-cffi-backend, which would force certbot to be removed, which is clearly not desirable. I'm guessing from context that this is a problem with virtual packages like this? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (490, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.20.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages deborphan depends on: ii libc6 2.28-2 Versions of packages deborphan recommends: ii apt 1.8.0~alpha3 ii dialog 1.3-20181022-1 ii gettext-base 0.19.8.1-9 deborphan suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
