Bug#571924: kdebindings not binNMUable

[Evgeni Golov]

Hi,

kdebindings is binNMUable very well. The bug you report has a slightly 
different source.

debian/control contains:
Package: python-kde4
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, 
 python-qt4 (= ${python-qt4:Version}), python-qt4 ( 
${python-qt4:Version}+~), 
 python-sip4 (= ${python-sip4:Version}), python-sip4 ( 
${python-sip4:Version}+~)

python-qt4:Version and python-sip4:Version are filled in debian/rules 
by:
 echo python-qt4:Version=`dpkg -l python-qt4  | tail -1 | awk '{print $$3}'` 
 debian/python-kde4.substvars
 echo python-sip4:Version=`dpkg -l python-sip4  | tail -1 | awk '{print 
$$3}'`  debian/python-kde4.substvars
 echo python-qt4:Version=`dpkg -l python-qt4  | tail -1 | awk '{print $$3}'` 
 debian/python-kde4-dev.substvars
 echo python-sip4:Version=`dpkg -l python-sip4  | tail -1 | awk '{print 
$$3}'`  debian/python-kde4-dev.substvars

That's perfectly fine, as long we ignore the fact that the sip4 packages 
were renamed to sip in 4.10-1.
kdebinding Build-Depends on sip4 (= 4.7.8), python-sip4-dev (= 4.7.8), 
which pulls python-sip-dev and therefor python-sip.
No python-sip4 to check it's version, and voila, we have none in 
there.

To fix this bug, one would need to:
1. Build-Depend on python-sip-dev (the sip4 package is gone/empty)
2. Replace the Depends of python-kde4 with unversioned sip packages
3. Check the version of the unversioned sip packages in debian/rules (or 
   use dh_sip here, which is new)

Regards
Evgeni

Bug#571924: kdebindings not binNMUable

[Holger Levsen]

package: kdebindings
severity: serious
version: 4:4.3.4-1+b1

Hi,

the kdebindings 4:4.3.4-1+b1 binNMU produced an interesting depends:  
python-sip4 (= none), python-sip4 ( none+~) 

This breaks the piuparts dependency parser, and i guess it will break other 
stuff as well. Due to this bug I had to completly disable testing of sid on 
piuparts.debian.org. 
edos.debian.net hasnt been updated since a week, but I assume its a likely 
candidate.

Filing this as serious as the resulting relationships are a severe violation 
of policy. #571695 has been filed to make dak prevent such packages entering 
the archive. Setting the version to the binNMU to prevent the binNMU packages 
to enter testing.


regards,
Holger
