--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 4.2.11 Severity: normal dh_python adds commands to a package's postinst script that check for the proper python interpreter and, if it exists, executes that interpreter a couple of times: # Automatically added by dh_python PYTHON=python2.3 if which $PYTHON >/dev/null 2>&1; then DIRLIST=" /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages" for i in $DIRLIST ; do $PYTHON -O /usr/lib/$PYTHON/compileall.py -q $i $PYTHON /usr/lib/$PYTHON/compileall.py -q $i done fi However, if the python package has not yet been configured, the interpreter will be detected as present, but executing the interpreter will generate an error message. Search for 'import site' below. The only real issue is the error messages; once python2.3 is configured, it will byte-compile the package's modules. A possible solution would be to run a no-op python command first and test for an error before proceeding with the compile commands. debian:/# apt-get --reinstall install python2.3 debconf Reading Package Lists...

[ Valery Perrin ] * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules . [ Joey Hess] * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of a difficult situation. * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4. * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found. The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of everything dh_python used to do in this situation. * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean. * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better. * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated. . debhelper (5.0.37.3) unstable; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload. * Update of dh_python - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y" Closes: #375576 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948 - fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions were listed in XS-Python-Version. - fix use of unitialized value. Closes: #374776 - fix typos in POD documentation. Closes: #375936 . debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload. * Update of dh_python - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback. - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a specific python version. Closes: #373853 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the provides. - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in the not too-distant future). DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy. DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy. * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and thus made the build fail. . debhelper (5.0.37.1) unstable; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload. * Integrate the new dh_python implementing the new Python policy.
