if you install public modules for one Python version only, but X-Python-Version suggests this module supports at least one more currently supported Python version, dh_python2 tries to use installed files for other Python versions. If it's not possible, f.e. because all installed modules contain extensions (which cannot be shared and I don't know if given extension is optional or not), dh_python2 will fail with this error message. I consider this an improvement over dh_pycentral/dh_pysupport because I think it's better to FTBFS rather than detect such problems at runtime. BTW: dh_python2 from experimental, when invoked with verbose option (DH_VERBOSE=1 or --verbose/-v) will print this message: | possible solutions are: building for all supported Python versions | (`pyversions -vr`); adjusting X-Python-Version field; passing | --no-guessing-versions to dh_python2 please propose a better one if it's not clear -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
