Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5.2-11 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.1
Hi! debian/copyright of python2.5 (and I suppose python2.4) fails to say that some files are linked to GNU Readline: /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/readline.so GNU Readline is licensed under GPLv2+ Since Python license is compatible with GPL, this would just mean that a notice about this file must be added to debian/copyright (DFSG#7). Because this library is loaded on the fly, I don't know the real implication on the license of the whole python2.5 executable. Another solution (post-Lenny) could be to replace GNU Readline by Editline which is a BSD licensed source-compatible GNU Readline replacement. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python2.5 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.5 4.5.20-12 Berkeley v4.5 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.6+20080906-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-4 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.44-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.5-minimal 2.5.2-11 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.5 recommends no packages.
