I can't see the fixed files for this dist-info metadata in the updated
package:
$ dpkg-query -W python3-h5py
python3-h5py 3.9.0-1
$ dpkg -L python3-h5py
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/python3-h5py
/usr/share/doc/python3-h5py/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/python3-h5py/README.rst
/usr/share/doc/python3-h5py/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/python3-h5py/copyright
I *think* the issue is that the code to move the dist-info into this
package is within the "override_dh_auto_install-arch" target, but the
python3-h5py package is arch:all and so that target is never called on
the buildd.
Once this is fixed in trixie, can the fix for just this problem be
shipped as a stable-update? It potentially breaks plugin loading in lots
of places that want to address h5py by a string name rather than doing
`import h5py`.
BTW a simple test that it is all working is:
python3 -c "from importlib.metadata import distribution;
distribution('h5py')"
that currently fails in bookworm, trixie, and sid, but works fine if
h5py is installed via pip, and I think that is the crux of what Frederic
found in the discussion about silx.
