Source: pycryptodome Version: 3.4.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While packaging a python program (streamlink) which use pycryptodome with a fallback to pycrypto, I found that the package python3-pycryptodome contains the pycryptodomex module instead of pycryptodome. This is because the packages python3-pycryptodome and python-pycryptodome are built by creating the ".separate_namespace" file. This ".separate_namespace" file switch the built python module from pycryptodome to pycryptodomex. So python3-pycryptodome and python-pycryptodome packages contain pycrytodomex module instead of pycryptodome. The difference between both is that pycryptodome installs its modules under the Crypto package and pycryptodomex installs its modules under the Cryptodome package. Which means pycryptodome can be drop-in replacement for pycrypto but pycryptodomex cannot. I suggest that: - Existing pythonX-pycryptodome packages build pycryptodome instead of pycryptodomex, - Add new binary packages pythonX-pycryptodomex containing pycryptodomex. As pycrytodome contains the same python package (Crypto) as pycrypto, the two package are in conflict. I'm not sure what's the best way to handle that: - Don't make any pythonX-pycryptodome packages and just rename the existing one to pythonX-pycryptodomex (so the other name is still available in case it becomes needed) - Make a conflicts dependency on pythonX-crypto in pythonX-pycryptodome - Eventually think about a transition from pycrypto to pycryptodome (pycrypto seems dead, last release was in 2013 according to github) As a side note, I also found that the built manpages are not packaged in any of the binary package. I don't think it's expected as d/rules explicitly builds manpages.
