Dear maintainer, in debian unstable (and in testing too), python3-chardet does in fact depends explicitely python3.4 :
> aptitude show python3-chardet Package: python3-chardet State: installed Automatically installed: yes Version: 2.2.1-1 Priority: optional Section: python Maintainer: Piotr Ożarowski <[email protected]> Architecture: all Uncompressed Size: 519 k Depends: python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~), python3.4, python3-pkg-resources If i understand well one of your previous message in this thread, this is due to the fact that /usr/bin/chardetect3 starts with #!/usr/bin/python3.4 instead of a more generic #!/usr/bin/python3 If python3 (>= 3.1.2-8~) only is required, then it would be nice to update /usr/bin/chardetect3 Cheers, Ara On 9 April 2014 17:34, Piotr Ożarowski <[email protected]> wrote: > Control: tags -1 +moreinfo > > [Ara Keary, 2014-04-09] > > i confirm that with a rather 'standard' (but still python rich) unstable > > installation of debian, > > > > > uname -a > > Linux host 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.7-1 (2014-03-25) x86_64 > > GNU/Linux > > > > python3-chardet is the only package making python3.4 necessary to be > > installed > > I don't understand what's the problem (python3-chardet requires python3 > >= 3.1.2-8~, python3 is currently python3.3, BTW). > If you want Python 2.X version, install python-chardet rather than > python3-chardet >
