Don't worry, the issue is well understood, just not the fix:
< jwilk> | h01ger: dpkg insists that foo:any can be satisfied only by M-
A:allowed packages. Old versions of python didn't have
this flag enabled...
< jwilk> See bug #723586.
< jwilk> The dpkg's :any semantics is stupid if you ask me, but -ENOTIME to
argue with dpkg&apt devs.
< h01ger> | so thats not really a bug in piuparts
< jwilk> A work-around is to change "python:any" to "python:any | python".
< h01ger> | piuparts has ${python:Depends} as depends
< h01ger> | i wouldnt want to turn this into ${python:Depends} | python
* | h01ger sighs and prepares to know 723586 by heart before
jessie is released
* | jwilk sighs at dh_python2.
< h01ger> | there definitly must be a better fix than to fix all packages
depending on python...
< jwilk> Oh yay, we have hundreds of packages depending on unalternatived and
unversioned "python:any".
< jwilk> s/hundreds/dozens/
< h01ger> | jwilk: yeah, sure
* | h01ger is not surprised
cheers,
Holger
