Package: python3-posix-ipc Version: 0.9.8-3+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I try to install the python3-posix-ipc package in any of my Debian/testing machines, I get the following error: # apt install python3-posix-ipc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-posix-ipc : Depends: python3 (< 3.8) but 3.9.2-2 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The problem occured for the first time almost one year ago (I don't remember when exactly). I hoped that it is just the matter of "testing" distribution. However it is not resolved for quite a long time... (I usually worked it around by working in a venvm where I installed python3-posix-ipc by pip: python3 -m venv tmpenv . tmpenv/bin/activate pip3 install wheel posix-ipc ) -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python3-posix-ipc depends on: ii libc6 2.31-9 ii python3 3.9.2-2 python3-posix-ipc recommends no packages. python3-posix-ipc suggests no packages.
