Why is the package completely unusable? I just see a complain by dpkg that /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/ is not empty. I agree with the policy violation. Note that I adopted the package recently and the problem was already there. > severity 386211 grave > thanks > > Le jeu 7 septembre 2006 14:20, Ludovic Rousseau a écrit : > > Hello, > > > > I received bug report #386211: > > Package: plucker > > Version: 1.8-16+b1 > > Severity: normal > > > > Upon update to this version the byte-compiled files in > > /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/ > > were left behind. > > > > 1.8-16+b1 is generated for Python 2.4 so the installed files are now > > in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PyPlucker/ and > > /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PyPlucker/ should be empty (and > > deleted). > > > > My problem is that the package does not provide the .pyc files.

OK. The plucker package is not available in Debian stable. I imagine it had a RC bug when sarge was released since the first package version is dated Dec 2000. So only people using unstable or testing _and_ running the scripts as root will suffer from this bug. How long should I keep the "rm" in preinst? Until etch is released? Or can I just close the bug without adding anything in preinst since packages in unstable/testing _may_ have bugs. > 2. and then make it comply with the new policy, using dh_pysupport or > dh_pycentral that will take care of the byte-compilation of your > package, and the transitions also. > > wich seems to be already done. Yes. I try to do my best.
