It seems that you've to call the dh_py* stuff somewhere above some other dh_ commands. I'm not sure which exactly broke it in this case and I've to learn for some written tests now so that I can't look deeper in it. Maybe you should note that in the wiki page aswell that it's ok to call it directly after dh_installman. Thanks for your support guys!

LyX generates some .pyc and .pyo files during build time and I'm not sure what to do with them because I thought that the dh_pycentral call would handle them correctly. Having build a package[1] from the stuff we currently have in our svn repo[2] I can not find a postinst/prerm script added to handle the recompilation of those files. From the resulting packages lyx-common is the one with the python stuff. I'd appreciate if someone could enlight me and tell me how to deal with this case correctly. first you need to build depends on python-dev and not python. and the pyo and pyc files are generated by your build process. you have to remove them manually, e.g. using some find -name '*.pyo' mantra. there should be no .pyo/.pyc in the packages you build, those are created by pycentral at postinst / prerm time of your package, thanks to debhelper magic. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOOhttp://www.madism.org pgpzPlPQad2S6.pgp Description: PGP signature

The (old) dh_python did remove the .pyc and .pyo files at package build time, so one did not have to bother with their removal. Are the new fancy tools not doing this (asks a developer still not up-to-date with the new python policy)? looking at dh_python source, bumping PYCOMPAT to 2 does not changes that part of its behaviour. though, even for the lyx-common in the archive there is .pyo/.pyc in /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/ (wich in itself is quite bad).
