I sat down to have a look at this, and struggled to figure out what the
package is actually trying to do in its build.
There's some wacky stuff going on, which isn't actually working, so I
started by trimming that out, and enabling set -e.
> dh_missing: warning: lib/python3.9/libpyferret.so exists in debian/tmp but is
> not installed to anywhere (related file:
> "debian/tmp/lib/python3.8/libpyferret.so")
From what I can see, this library is a symlink, created for other
libraries to link to, but not installing under that name, only as a
Python C extension.
With the attached patchset, I can get it to build with 3.8 and 3.9,
which gets us to the same state as unstable, which is totally broken:
$ pyferret3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyferret/__init__.py", line 75, in
from pyferret import libpyferret
ImportError:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyferret/libpyferret.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
undefined symbol: load_dsg_mask_ftrset_var_
>>>
Then there's all the shared libraries in
/usr/lib/ferret-vis/external_functions/pylibs that want to link to
libpyferret:
$ ldd /usr/lib/ferret-vis/external_functions/pylibs/subtract.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffdd76ad000)
libeatmydata.so => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libeatmydata.so
(0x7f30e9d3d000)
libpyferret.so => not found
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x7f30e9d37000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x7f30e9b72000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f30e9d4f000)
I don't know what's supposed to use those, but they probably shouldn't
be linking to a library that isn't installed.
If there are plugins like this that need to link to C Python Extensions,
I don't know if it makes any sense to build pyferret for multiple Python
versions. But I don't know enough about the package, to understand
exactly what they are for, and how they're meant to be linked.
So... Some patches attached that get us to the broken status-quo of
unstable, but not sure that that's a useful place to be. I'm certainly
not going to NMU them.
I'd have filed an MR, but the git repo is out of date...
