Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120608
Severity: minor
python_distutils.pm uses this condition to check if a particular version
of Python exists:
if (-x "/usr/bin/".$python) {
However, /usr/bin/python2.X is shipped by the python2.X-minimal package,
whereas the distutils package (which is normally needed to run setup.py)
is in the python2.X package. So the check really should be:
if (-f "/usr/lib/$python/distutils/__init__.py") {
To see why the current behavior is a problem, try building e.g.
activity-log-manager-0.8.0 in an environment which has python2.6-minimal
installed, but python2.6 removed:
$ dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg-buildpackage: source package activity-log-manager
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.8.0-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals
<[email protected]>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386
dpkg-source --before-build activity-log-manager-0.8.0
fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh clean
dh_testdir

Jakub Wilk mentioned on IRC that this bug could probably be closed now
that there is only one supported version of python2. Accordingly, I
will do so now. :)
