reassign 361085 denyhosts-common 2.2-1
tags 361085 -patch
thanks

The provided patch is incorrect.  You cannot just change the interpreter
line to point to python2.4 instead of python, because this package doesn't
*depend* on python2.4 -- it depends on python.  However, it also depends on
denyhosts-python2.3 | denyhosts-python2.4, which is wrong because this
dependency is not guaranteed to match the version of python that's installed
as /usr/bin/python!

You need to pick a python version for denyhosts-common to depend on and make
all your dependencies match, not give users choices that may leave the
package unusable.

BTW,

This is nonsense; there is no requirement that Debian init scripts be either
LSB compliant or written in POSIX shell.  Debian's requirements of init
scripts are outlined in policy.
