Hrm, the original email got truncated at a "." line. Sounds like some
broken SMTP thing somewhere...
Please unblock package python-pip
python-pip (20.3.4-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Modify hands-off-system-packages.patch to act correctly under PyPy3, which
shares dist-packages with cPython, but has a different sys.prefix.
[ Reason ]
PyPy and cPython on Debian share a common dist-packages directory
(/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages). However, not everything in there is
importable in PyPy. Generally C extensions are only built against
cPython.
So, users wanting to use numpy, for example, would pip install it.
However, unless one is very careful, pip will uninstall the numpy from
dist-packages, which should be managed by apt, not pip.
Pip has a patch to avoid this, but it wasn't working correctly under
PyPy, because it assumed sys.prefix == /usr.
This upload hard-codes prefix in the patch, making pip refuse to remove
files from dist-packages, when run under cPython or PyPy.
Bug describing this: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pypy/-/issues/2
[ Impact ]
Users can fairly easily break their python3-* packages, by using pip as
root, to install modules for pypy3.
[ Tests ]
Manually tested installing & upgrading modules with pip under cpython
and pypy3.
[ Risks ]
Change is a noop on cpython, and fixes a bug on PyPy.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
