Hi,
As discussed yesterday on IRC, there's a problem with the circular
build-deps of gnome-python-extras. gnome-python-extras build-deps on
python-gnome2-dev which depends on python-gnome2 which depends on
python-gnome2-extras; the problem is caused by a conflict between the
old python-gnome2-extras which depends on mozilla-browser, and the new
one which build-depends on libxul-dev.
The circular build-deps appeared with gnome-python 2.12.4-2 where I
added a compatibiliy Depends to temporarily downgrade RC bugs: packages
which used to depend on python-gnome2 should update their deps to also
depend on python-gnome2-extras.
The conflict appeared with gnome-python-extras 2.14.0-2 where I moved
from mozilla to libxul-dev.
Here are the proposed solutions:
1) request buildd admins to handle this manually, by forcing the build
of gnome-python-extras 2.14.0-2 without gnome-python-extras
installed or without mozilla-browser installed
2) reupload gnome-python without the new compatibility depends, reopen
the RC, build gnome-python-extras 2.14.0-2, reupload gnome-python
with the compatibility depends
3) reupload gnome-python-extras without any libxul / mozilla build-deps
and deps, build it, then reupload one with libxul-dev build-dep and
deps readded; this should build since there won't be any conflict
anymore
It seems to me all three solutions are ugly, but I'm in favor of 2)
because we lived without a Depends for some months and the Depends
should be removed when packages have updated their deps anyway.
It would be nice to get comments on other possible solutions, and on
the choice of the best solution.
Thanks,
