Hello!
Writing here since this email is a maintainer for python-support. Feel
free to redirect my wherever appropriate and accept my apologies in this
case!
I'm building a pure-python package with python-support that is intended
to be installed on several platforms with different default python
versions (namely Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Sarge). The package requires
python 2.4 and above so it includes debian/pyversions with "2.4-".
The package is built on Hardy. Trying to install this package on Sarge
results in apt-get raising an error about "python (>= 2.4) required but
python 2.3.5 is going to be installed". My current theory is that
because of building this in an environment with python 2.5 as default
version the line "Depends: ${python:Depends}" is replaced with "Depends:
python" and doesn't work on a platform where "python" means python 2.3.
May be this theory is completely broken, I'm not very familiar with
python-support and only partly familiar with deb packaging in general.
So I'm looking for an advice on how to resolve this situation. I see now
two ways:
- specify dependencies manually like "python2.4|python2.5"
- build the package on the lowest (python-wise) platform -- Sarge -- and
hope that python-support will do its magic
Or may be something else...
Thank you in advance!
