rekall's setup.py contains¹ (in install_requires): "pycrypto == 2.6.1"
which is translated by dh_python2 into "python-crypto (= 2.6.1)" (translating == into = and not simply ignoring it, or replacing with ">=" which is IMO the least problematic solution, is a new thing introduced in dh-python 2.20170125, I'm not a big fan of it but apparently it's what maintainers want) Why pycrypto is translated and other requirements not? That's because pycrypto (Debian) maintainer flagged² pycrypto's versioning as compatible with Debian's (it's disabled by default, you can `dh_python2 --accept-upstream-versions` if you want that behaviour with other modules/requirements) What to do to fix it? * patch setup.py to replace == with >= or remove version completly, no matter what's the outcome of next point: * start a thread on debian-python@l.d.o abuot what to do with == (ignore? translate into =, translate into >=) [¹] https://sources.debian.net/src/rekall/1.6.0%2Bdfsg-1/rekall-core/setup.py/#L61 [²] https://sources.debian.net/src/python-crypto/2.6.1-7/debian/python-crypto.pydist/ _______________________________________________ forensics-devel mailing list forensics-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/forensics-devel
