Package: python-django Version: 1.9-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
http://paste.debian.net/341382/ http://paste.debian.net/341383/ I had previously tested django1.9 from experimental and have prepared changes which allow lava-server to run and for all the unit tests to pass. When the version from unstable appears, localhost fails with a new HTTP500 import error and the unit tests fail with a new import error. Testing against experimental MUST provide a reliable indicator that the upgrade in unstable will continue to operate or there is no point in having the upload in experimental in the first place! There hasn't been enough time between 1.8 and 1.9 to even get the upstream changes for 1.8 uploaded to unstable and now 1.9 has completely broken even those changes *despite* full testing of 1.9 in experimental. The django upgrade process in Debian is fundamentally broken and is wasting massive amounts of time. There is no point watching or testing from experimental - taking a month of upstream time to get the fixes in - when the actual version has unrelated breakage. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-django depends on: ii python-django-common 1.9-1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages python-django recommends: ii libjs-jquery 1.11.3+dfsg-4 ii python-sqlparse 0.1.18-1 ii python-tz 2012c+dfsg-0.1 Versions of packages python-django suggests: pn bpython <none> pn geoip-database-extra | geoip-database-contrib <none> ii gettext 0.19.6-1 pn ipython <none> pn libgdal1 <none> ii python-bcrypt 0.4-2+b2 ii python-django-doc 1.9-1 ii python-flup 1.0.2-5 pn python-memcache <none> pn python-mysqldb <none> ii python-pil 3.0.0-1 ii python-psycopg2 2.6.1-1+b1 pn python-sqlite <none> ii python-yaml 3.11-3 -- no debconf information
