Bug#377615: python-apt does not depend on apt
Package: python-apt
Version: 0.6.18
Severity: important
After the python policy transition, the python-apt package now contains
the .so files for each of the relevant python versions. However, these
..so's depend on the existance of /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11
and /usr/lib/libapt-inst-libc6.3-6.so.1.1 (both currently provided by
apt) which python-apt doesn't depend on. Previously this dependancy was
handled by the python2.x-apt packages, but no longer. python-apt should
probably depend on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 (provided by apt) in order
to fix this.
