Package: gedit-plugins Version: 3.18.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Currently, gedit-plugins gets python3 interpreter depends like this (when built with python3.4 as default python3):
python3 (<< 3.5), python3 (>= 3.4~), python3.4 As a result, gedit-plugins became uninstallable once the default was updated to python3.5. While a binNMU corrected this, it's entirely unnecessary. I looked and there's no compiled python extensions in the plugins, it's all arch all python that does not need rebuilding when the version changes. Ths problem is that because dh_python3 was being called for all plugins, some of which are compiled, dh_python treated them as python3 extensions for dependency calculation. Please see the attached patch that addresses this issue. With it the python3 interpreter depend is: python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~) No more trouble during transitions, the package is always installable. This fixes the exact problem that led to #810866 being filed. Scott K
