Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
a broken symlink.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
0m20.0s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx.pth -> ../../wx/python/wx.pth
A file called wx.pth does not exist in Debian/unstable.
A possible target could be /usr/lib/wx/python/wx3.0.pth from python-wxgtk3.0.
cheers,
Andreas

Thanks, I'll just ensure for this test that python-wxgtk3.0 gets
installed by piuparts if python-wxversion is there... fixed locally
and... passed.
Darn, that was the first "wrong" report in my current series of broken
symlink elimination bugs. Usually it's a missing
Depends/Recommends/Suggests, a target that is long gone, was moved,
never shipped, or just misspelled. And noone noticed it for years.
And this time I missed a plain alternative ;-(

That doesn't sound too bad ... dare to look at what I do with
alternatives (and triggers and ping-pong triggers) for having the
different versions of the nvidia driver coinstallable in non-free, but
is was more fun when we still had fglrx-driver, too :-)
