Hi Lumin, >Thank you James, I've solved this problem. I don't want to do the final checks until Ghislain gives me his personal ack, but I see that the python3 dependencies might be fixed with not-much effort.
issues I would like to see fixed or answered: python/requirements.txt <-- please check for missing runtime dependencies. why some of them are outside that shlibs:Depends and not picked up automatically? talking about python-skimage and python-protobuf e.g. you can't run cython if you don't put it on build-dependencies. also all the requiremends, need to be in build-dependencies in order to be picked up by python:Depends correctly. for the python3 porting: protobuf is python3 ready https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795841 what about helping the maintainer in uploading it? for skimage: the package has two RC bugs, both fixed upstream #788965, #794859. you need to fix all the dependencies if you really want your package in Stretch! (btw for skimage, the new release fixes all the RC bugs I also asked why it hasn't been packaged yet https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/2091 ) Gianfranco
