Hi, Thanks to Christian for forwarding this. python-newt uses a depends line that generates: amckinstry@debian:~/deb-packages/newt/newt-0.52.14/debian$ cat python-newt.substvars python:Versions=2.6, 2.7 python:Provides=python2.6-newt, python2.7-newt python:Depends=python2.7 | python2.6, python (>= 2.6), python (<< 2.8), python (>= 2.6.6-7~) shlibs:Depends=libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libnewt0.52, libpython2.6 (>= 2.6), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), libslang2 (>= 2.0.7-1) misc:Depends= The ${python:Depends} is fine, but ${shlibs:Depends} generates dependencies on libpython that are superfluous, as well as the necessary libslang, libnewt dependencies. I _could_ drop the ${shlibs:Depends} and replace it with just 'libnewt0.52', (the libc and libslang dependencies will be pulled in from it), but I suspect it would be best to somehow tell debhelper that I don't need libpython*. Any ideas? please CC: me in any response as I'm not currently subscribed to debian-python regards Alastair McKinstry -------- Original Message --------

There's one issue which is not listed there but into which I ran into on i386 recently: python-newt depends on libpython-2.6 since very recently only and only on some architectures. Noticed it, because it wants to pull in python2.6 again.
