Package: python3-xdg Version: 0.27-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: mar...@push-f.com
Dear Maintainer, I just mistakenly reported a bug at PIP because I assumed that python3-xdg only contained the xdg package from pyxdg and was confused why installing the xdg package failed with the message: $ pip install xdg Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable Requirement already satisfied: xdg in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (5) As it turns out that is because the python3-xdg package now also contains a compatability layer for the xdg package from PyPI.[1] I think it's quite confusing that one Debian package contains the code from several PyPI packages but I understand that this was meant to address the namespace conflict between those two packages. In any case I think the description of the package should be updated to explain the current situation (the namespace conflict between the xdg and pyxdg PyPI packages and that this Debian package contains the code of both). Cheers, Martin [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pyxdg/-/commit/2e61e056826ea13e6a1a49202a33213f6ee38219
