Hi...
Are lintian's current python dependency checks on crack or something?
peterh@warpcore:~/programming/twatch$ lintian -i
../trafficwatch_0.0.1_all.deb
E: trafficwatch: python-script-but-no-python-dep
./usr/share/trafficwatch/scripts/db_import.py
N:
N: Packages that use python scripts must depend on the package
N: python-base, probably with a versioned dependency. If the package
is
N: for python version 2.0 or higher, the proper depends is
python2-base.
N:
N: In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or
Recommends,
N: will be more appropriate.
N:
Last time I checked, there weren't any python-base packages installed
on my system, nor provided by any other packages either. Is lintian
just plain wrong here, or is it just me? I was also under the
impression the correct dependency was:
Depends: python (>= 2.2), python (<< 2.3)
(or some variant thereof).
I have lintian:
ii lintian 1.21.3 Debian package checker
which I would claim is the latest.
