Public bug reported:
[Note: this might be a bug in autoconf rather than automake, I'm not
entirely sure]
On Ubuntu (and I think also on Debian), Python3 modules are installed in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
However, that's different from the upstream path, which is
/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages
Python3 modules building with the Autotools will get installed in the
upstream-preferred path, and as a result, Python3 won't find them.
Here is a way to reproduce it:
1. First, install libcangjie from Git:
git clone git://github.com/Cangjians/libcangjie
cd libcangjie
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
2. Now, install pycangjie:
git clone git://github.com/Cangjians/pycangjie
cd pycangjie
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
(you might need to install some dependencies, like libsqlite3-dev,
python3-de and cython)
Now, observe how the module was installed in /usr/lib/python3.3/site-
packages/cangjie, where Python3 won't find it.
This installation path is not hardcoded in the pycangjie build process,
it is **automatically discovered by the autotools**.
If Ubuntu (or is it Debian?) decides to change where Python3 modules are
installed, then shouldn't it also try to ensure that they actually get
installed there?
** Affects: automake (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed
