Package: python3-pip Version: 20.0.2-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? After recently upgrading my system on Debian unstable, the "pip3" command started reporting a warning about the /usr/bin/pip3 script. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Simply called "pip3" through bash. * What was the outcome of this action? The warning is as follows: WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip. Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue. To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly. * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected no warning to occur. /usr/bin/pip3 calls pip._internal:main, which has been deprecated. More information is available at: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7498 The Github issue seems to suggest that the new entrypoint that should be used is pip._internal.cli.main:main. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python3-pip depends on: ii ca-certificates 20190110 ii python-pip-whl 20.0.2-2 ii python3 3.8.2-2 ii python3-distutils 3.8.2-2 ii python3.7 3.7.7-1 Versions of packages python3-pip recommends: ii build-essential 12.8 ii python3-dev 3.8.2-2 ii python3-setuptools 44.0.0-1 ii python3-wheel 0.34.2-1 python3-pip suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
