Source: python3.11 Version: 3.11.13-1 Severity: serious User: debian-gl...@lists.debian.org Usertags: libnsl-dev
Dear maintainer, Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth transition, a libnsl-dev has been added to the libc6-dev package. This dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1 NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes python3.11 to be built without NIS support, which in practice means that this python module is missing from libpython3.11-stdlib: /usr/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload/nis.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so Please either: - Add libnsl-dev as build dependency - Disable NIS support explicitly so that this feature does not depend on the packages installed on the system. The glibc change will likely be reverted in the short term, but given its a change we want to do for Trixie, this will only lower the severity of the bug. Regards Aurelien
