[Python-modules-team] Bug#679819: Dropping Provides field broke depending software (python-avogadro)

* Daniel Leidert daniel.leid...@wgdd.de, 2012-07-04, 22:19: python-avogadro is the only package in the archive that depends on python2.7-qt4. I think it makes more sense to fix it there than in python-qt4 and depend on a bug in poilcy, but since that's what it says, I'll fix it in python-qt4

The Avogadro dependency is incorrect and should be fixed. Depends: python2.7, python-qt4 will do what you want. Since, if Avogadro needs 2.7, you need to depend on it directly, also depending on python2.7-qt4 is redundant. I disagree. Citing the Debian Python Policy section 2.4: Packaged
