Source: celery Version: 3.1.19-2 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
Hi, I was trying to backport celery to jessie, and the build fails thus: Searching for billiard>=3.3.0.21,<3.4 Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/billiard/ Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/billiard/: [Errno 111] Connection refused -- Some packages may not be found! Couldn't find index page for 'billiard' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/ Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: [Errno 111] Connection refused -- Some packages may not be found! No local packages or download links found for billiard>=3.3.0.21,<3.4 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('billiard>=3.3.0.21,<3.4') E: pybuild pybuild:256: test: plugin custom failed with: exit code=1: python2.7 setup.py test The problem being that jessie has python-billiard 3.3.0.18-2. So the build-dependency should have versioning information (>=3.3.0.21 <<3.4).
