Hi,
Thanks to Christian for forwarding this. python-newt uses a depends line
that generates:
amckinstry@debian:~/deb-packages/newt/newt-0.52.14/debian$ cat
python-newt.substvars
python:Versions=2.6, 2.7
python:Provides=python2.6-newt, python2.7-newt
python:Depends=python2.7 | python2.6, python (>= 2.6), python (<< 2.8),
python (>= 2.6.6-7~)
shlibs:Depends=libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libnewt0.52,
libpython2.6 (>= 2.6), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), libslang2 (>= 2.0.7-1)
misc:Depends=
The ${python:Depends} is fine, but ${shlibs:Depends} generates
dependencies on libpython that are superfluous,
as well as the necessary libslang, libnewt dependencies. I _could_ drop
the ${shlibs:Depends} and replace it with
just 'libnewt0.52', (the libc and libslang dependencies will be pulled
in from it), but I suspect it would be best
to somehow tell debhelper that I don't need libpython*.
Any ideas?
please CC: me in any response as I'm not currently subscribed to
debian-python
regards
Alastair McKinstry

There's one issue which is not listed there but into which I ran into on
i386 recently:
python-newt depends on libpython-2.6 since very recently only and only
on some architectures. Noticed it, because it wants to pull in
python2.6 again. See also http://packages.debian.org/sid/python-newt
