Bug#969180: RFS: facerec/1.0 [ITP] -- A Face Authentication system for ubuntu
Control: tags -1 wontfix
Hi,
I did some time ago look at your package, but did not respond to this bug.
Unfortunatly there are significant problems:
- everything you do in preinst must be done at build time.
- everything you do in postinst. must be done at build time.
- especially you must not use pip in postinst.
- face_recognition_models is pulled in via pip; it has problems
as it contains non DFSG data [1] making it unsuitable for Debian main.
(Maybe the offending model could be removed…)

As said, you cannot get stuff from the Internet when installing a deb package.
(You cannot also during build. The pulled in resources need to be packaged as
well).
Marking it as wontfix [2], as there is a lot to be fixed before a deeper review
makes sense.
Please read carefully
- the introduction for new maintainer [3] and
- as you are upstream the Upstream Guide [4].

When you have a new package, remove the wontfix tag to signal readyness for
review.
(Disclaimer: I do not intent to sponsor this package, I don't know enough about pam and this package has possible security implications…)
Cheers,
