Package: python-apt Version: 0.8.4 Severity: minor Justification: http://bugs.debian.org/677991 Tags: patch
Hi, Since December, 2011 (due to [*], presumably), python-apt recommends xz-lzma to ensure apt's ExtractTar is capable of installing lzma-compressed packages (like google-chrome). Now in sid the xz-lzma package is being removed in favor of xz-utils providing "lzma" through the alternatives system directly, making that recommends harder to literally satisfy. Sorry I missed this before uploading. We can add a Provides to xz-utils if appropriate, but it seems that python-apt has not used the "lzma" command in practice since apt 0.90. * apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc: - if present, prefer xz binary over lzma How about something like this patch? Thanks, Jonathan [*] http://bugs.debian.org/650507 diff --git i/debian/changelog w/debian/changelog index c1b12cc8..daa410ca 100644 --- i/debian/changelog +++ w/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +python-apt (0.8.4+nmu1) local; urgency=low + + * debian/control: + - recommend apt (>= 0.9.0) for lzma-comp support without the lzma command + - remove no longer needed xz-lzma recommendation + + -- Jonathan Nieder <jrnie...@gmail.com> Tue, 19 Jun 2012 00:54:05 -0500 + python-apt (0.8.4) unstable; urgency=low [ Michael Vogt ] diff --git i/debian/control w/debian/control index 29392858..47b12383 100644 --- i/debian/control +++ w/debian/control @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ Vcs-Browser: http://bzr.debian.org/loggerhead/apt/python-apt/debian-sid/changes Package: python-apt Architecture: any Depends: ${python:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, python-apt-common -Recommends: lsb-release, iso-codes, python2.6, xz-lzma +Recommends: lsb-release, iso-codes, python2.6, apt (>= 0.9.0~exp1) Breaks: packagekit-backend-apt (<= 0.4.8-0ubuntu4), computer-janitor (<< 1.14.1-1+), debdelta (<< 0.41+), -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
