Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bullseye
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: cru...@debian.org
[ Reason ]
cwltool is not usable without the python3-distutils package also
installed. This is rare, but can happen on fresh Debian installs.
I discovered this today while testing instructions for WSL2 users.
The cwltool version in unstable/testing does not have this problem.
[ Impact ]
cwltool fails to run
ImportError: cannot import name 'spawn' from 'distutils'
(/usr/lib/python3.9/distutils/__init__.py)
[ Tests ]
I can confirm that installing python3-distutils is sufficient to avoid
the problem.
[ Risks ]
Basically no risk, just a change to the depenendency of the cwltool
binary package.
[ 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 (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Add python3-distutils as a dependency of the cwltool binary package
Thanks!
