Hi Alastair,
In Ubuntu, we've begun the transition from python3.5 to python3.6, which in
the first stages involves enabling python3.6 as a non-default, supported
python3 version.
The xdmf package fails to build in this configuration because it uses
python3-all-dev and py3versions -s, with the intention of supporting
multiple python versions, but debian/rules doesn't actually use this
correctly - it assumes the output of py3versions -s is a single word:
PY3:=$(shell py3versions -s)m
I don't see any specific reason that this package needs to support all
available versions of python3 rather than just supporting the default, so
I've applied the attached patch in Ubuntu to switch it from py3versions -s
to py3versions -d.
Please consider applying this in Debian as well, since this will become a
build failure there when the python3.6 transition starts (after the stretch
release).
