--- Begin Message ---Package: automake1.10 Version: 1:1.10.3-1 Severity: normal AM_PATH_PYTHON from /usr/share/aclocal-1.10/python.m4 doesn't return the right directory for Python 2.6 extensions on Debian: It returns ${prefix}/lib/python2.[67]/site-packages/ instead of .../dist-packages/. This is because of /usr/share/aclocal-1.10/python.m4:98 AC_SUBST([PYTHON_PREFIX], ['${prefix}']) which defines PYTHON_PREFIX as the un-expanded string '${prefix}' Notice that this is quoted and does not get expanded! This then gets passed to /usr/share/aclocal-1.10/python.m4:120 [am_cv_python_pythondir=`$PYTHON -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix='$PYTHON_PREFIX')" 2>/dev/null || echo "$PYTHON_PREFIX/lib/python$PYTHON_VERSION/site-packages"`]) which then calls Python with the unexpanded '${prefix}' /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/sysconfig.py:110 just checks the prefix for /usr and /usr/local, but not for '${prefix}', thus returning '.../site-packages' instead of '.../dist-packages' See the difference when calling it directly from commandline: /usr/bin/python2.6 -c 'from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix="${prefix}")' ${prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages /usr/bin/python2.6 -c 'from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix="/usr")' /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (I switch ' and " for easier shell quoting) dh_python2 later complains about the wrong directory, but moves the files to the right directory, so this is currently not critical. It would be nice if the interaction between python.m4 and python/distutils/sysconfig.py could be fixed. I'm unsure if this is acrually a bug in autoconf or python. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages automake1.10 depends on: ii autoconf 2.67-2 automatic configure script builder ii autotools-dev 20100122.1 Update infrastructure for config.{ ii dpkg 1.15.8.11 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in automake1.10 recommends no packages. automake1.10 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
