The dh_python2 manpage definitely suggests otherwise: dh_python2 tries to translate Python dependencies from requires.txt file to Debian dependencies. Use debian/pydist-overrides or --no-guessing-deps option to over‐ride it if the guess is incorrect. If you want dh_python2 to generate more strict dependencies (f.e. to avoid ABI problems) create debian/python-foo.pydist file. The guess was correct, just not strict enough. Hence I tried using the pydist file. > What you want is debian/pydist-overrides file or to add correct > Build-Dependency and wait few more days for me to fix #791433 I cannot find a description of what should be in a debian/pydist-overrides file. I tried just moving the pydist file, and that seemed to work. For completeness, I have debian/pydist-overrides containing: lxml python-lxml (>= 3.3.1) Thanks very much for your prompt and extremely useful help :) Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
