Bug#557795: compizconfig-python: uses pythonX.Y/site-packages for Python >= 2.6
Source: compizconfig-python
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: important
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: python2.6 dist-packages
Hello,
When rebuilt against python-all{,-dev,-dbg} (and thus python2.6) from
Debian experimental, your binary packages contained these files:
[python-compizconfig_0.8.2-1_amd64.deb]
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/compizconfig.so
This is an indication of a broken package: Python >= 2.6 does not
look for modules into /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ anymore, but
uses /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages/ instead.
How to fix it?
==============
* if your package is using python-central:
- add "XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}" to all binary packages
that ship Python modules (.py files) or extensions (.so, including
_d.so) in debian/control, check if it's enough,
- try to convert to python-support[1], check if it's enough,
* add --install-layout=deb to setup.py call and bump minimum required
python{,-all,all-dev} build dependency to 2.5.4-1~, check if it's enough
* ask for help on #debian-python or debian-python@lists.debian.org
