--- Begin Message ---Package: python-support Version: 1.0.1 Severity: important Hi! While the idea of having .noinit is good to work around braindead upstreams, it is implemented badly unfortunately. Adding some debug code to update-python-modules shows me, that it looks in /usr/lib/pymodules/python*/... for the .noinit files: checking for .noinit: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.4/PyQt4/uic/widget-plugins create namespace /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.4/PyQt4/uic/widget-plugins/__init__.py This is is nto future-proof, as you'd have to install .noinit files in the pymodules directories for all new Python versions. I'd expect to drop the .noinit file for modules in /usr/share/pyshared. Cheers and keep up the good work, Bernd -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7-hal (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-support depends on: ii dpkg 1.14.25 Debian package management system ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o python-support recommends no packages. python-support suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
