Hi, this is the first time I'm creating a package for a Python script so I'm not sure if this is a lintian problem or my.
$ lintian epydoc_1.0-1_all.deb E: epydoc: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/epydoc/cli.py E: epydoc: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/epydoc/gui.py E: epydoc: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/epydoc E: epydoc: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/epydocgui I've here a Python script (epydoc v1.0) which only works fine with python 2.1. I've set the right dependencies and wonder that lintian does not recognised the 'python2.1' dependency as python. 'python2' will work but there is not python2- package anymore! Eatch Python script within this package uses '#!/usr/bin/python2.1'. So I've modified the /usr/share/lintian/checks/scripts file a little bit to fit today's situation (lintian 1.21.2): --- scripts 2002-10-16 00:00:00.000000000 +0200 +++ scripts.new 2002-10-19 21:17:03.000000000 +0200 @@ -64,7 +64,6 @@ 'python2.1' => '/usr/bin/python2.1', 'python2.2' => '/usr/bin/python2.2', 'python2.3' => '/usr/bin/python2.3', - 'python2' => '/usr/bin/python2', 'rexx' => '/usr/bin/rexx', 'regina' => '/usr/bin/regina', 'rc' => '/usr/bin/rc', @@ -232,9 +231,9 @@ } elsif ($base eq 'python') { tag_error("python-script-but-no-python-dep", $filename) unless ($deps{'python'} or $deps{'python-base'}); - } elsif ($base =~ m/^python2(\.\d)*$/) { + } elsif ($base =~ m/^python\d+\.\d+$/) { tag_error("python-script-but-no-python-dep", $filename) - unless ($deps{'python2'} or $deps{'python2-base'}); + unless ($deps{$base} or $deps{$base .
