** Summary changed:
- critical missing dependencies (edgy)
+ SRU: python-imaging missing dependencies (edgy)
** Description changed:
- There are no dependencies on the following packages:
+ During the new python policy transition python-imaging lost its
${shlibs:Depends}. This causes dependencies like
+ libc6, libfreetype6, libjpeg62, and zlib1g (which are critical to the
function of python-imaging) to be missing. On desktop machines these
dependencies are brought in by other packages but on a server install they
aren't.
- libc6, libfreetype6, libjpeg62, zlib1g
+ This bug was fixed with 1.1.5-11 in Debian and Feisty.
- These are all critical to the function of this package. This bug is very
- similar to the one i posted about python-psycopg. It's like the dapper
- package python2.4-imaging was moved to python-imaging, but the
- dependencies weren't set.
-
- Anyway, if one does an aptitude dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy, then
- the required C libraries may be uninstalled.
-
- If this is a fresh install of the package, then C libraries may be
- missing.
-
- Here is an example error you will get:
-
- File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 35, in
__getattr__
- raise ImportError("The _imaging C module is not installed")
- ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed
+ I have just added the ${shlibs:Depends} back in as version 1.1.5-11
+ does. See the attached debdiff for full details of changes.
