Package: python-support
Version: 1.0.13
Severity: serious
update-python-modules calls dpkg-trigger with --no-await option. This
means that packages calling update-python-modules will be configured
even before the trigger is run. However, this is wrong, because the
trigger does an important thing: creates empty __init__.py. As such,
some packages are unusable until the trigger is run.
I attached two dummy packages to illustrate the problem:
- foo ships a Python module and a script that uses this module. foo's
modules are bytecompiled by python-support.
- bar depends on foo and uses the script provided by foo in its
postinst, but is completely Python-agnostic.
Installing foo and bar together fails:
| # dpkg -i foo_1_all.deb bar_1_all.deb
| Selecting previously deselected package foo.
| (Reading database ... 14035 files and directories currently installed.)
| Unpacking foo (from foo_1_all.deb) ...
| Selecting previously deselected package bar.
| Unpacking bar (from bar_1_all.deb) ...
| Setting up foo (1) ...
| Setting up bar (1) ...
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "/usr/bin/runfoo", line 2, in <module>
| import foo
| ImportError: No module named foo
| dpkg: error processing bar (--install):
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
| Processing triggers for python-support ...
| Errors were encountered while processing:
| bar
If I remove --no-await option, the packages can be successfully
installed:
| # dpkg -i foo_1_all.deb bar_1_all.deb
| Selecting previously deselected package foo.
| (Reading database ... 14035 files and directories currently installed.)
| Unpacking foo (from foo_1_all.deb) ...
| Selecting previously deselected package bar.
| Unpacking bar (from bar_1_all.deb) ...
| Setting up foo (1) ...
| Processing triggers for python-support ...
| Setting up bar (1) ...
