Hi, I noticed that python-crypto had undergone the new Python Policy transition thanks to a NMU from Matthias Klose [1]. However, I could not update to this version, since python2.4-paramiko Depends: python2.4-crypto, but the new python-crypto package does not provide it.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-crypto/news/20060616T020207Z.html I thought such Provides field was mandatory under the new policy, and although I failed to find this requirement in the policy itself [2], it's set pretty straightforwardly in item #5 of the NewPolicy wiki page [3]. [2] http://people.debian.org/~piman/python-policy/python-policy.txt [3] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy I prepared a python-crypto NMU to fix this, but before uploading I had a look at the archive and saw that several other packages seem to suffer the same, which made me doubt of myself having understood the issue correctly. (I'm attaching a list of those I found; I left out python-twisted-*, and others that my grep-dctrl search may have missed). Can somebody clear the issue for me? Thanks. -- Adeodato Simó dato at net.com.org.es Debian Developer adeodato at debian.org Listening to: Nightmares on Wax - 'Les Nuits'
