Hi...

Are lintian's current python dependency checks on crack or something?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/programming/twatch$ lintian -i 
../trafficwatch_0.0.1_all.deb
E: trafficwatch: python-script-but-no-python-dep 
./usr/share/trafficwatch/scripts/db_import.py
N:
N:   Packages that use python scripts must depend on the package
N:   python-base, probably with a versioned dependency. If the package 
is
N:   for python version 2.0 or higher, the proper depends is 
python2-base.
N:
N:   In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or 
Recommends,
N:   will be more appropriate.
N:

Last time I checked, there weren't any python-base packages installed 
on my system, nor provided by any other packages either. Is lintian 
just plain wrong here, or is it just me? I was also under the 
impression the correct dependency was:
Depends: python (>= 2.2), python (<< 2.3)
(or some variant thereof).

I have lintian:
ii  lintian        1.21.3         Debian package checker
which I would claim is the latest.

=)
Peter
