Package: buildbot Version: 0.8.12-3.2 Severity: important The 0.8.12-3.2 buildbot package does not run as packaged in the Debian archives because it has a hard-coded runtime dependency on the exact version of sqlalchemy-migrate 0.7.2 package and the version of that package in the archives is 0.10.0.
Steps to reproduce: (1) install a fresh clean Debian 9 system (2) apt-get install buildbot (3) create a buildbot master instance: $ buildbot create-master $ cp master.cfg.example to master.cfg (5) run buildbot $ buildbot start (6) examine twistd.log, it will have a Python stack dump with the errors. Requirement.parse('sqlalchemy-migrate==0.7.2') That requirement is hardcoded in the source in the setup.py file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages buildbot depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii dpkg 1.18.24 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libjs-sphinxdoc 1.4.9-2 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-dateutil 2.5.3-2 ii python-jinja2 2.8-1 ii python-migrate 0.10.0-7 ii python-sqlalchemy 1.0.15+ds1-1 ii python-twisted 16.6.0-2 ii python-twisted-core 16.6.0-2 Versions of packages buildbot recommends: ii buildbot-slave 0.8.12-1 ii libaprutil1 1.5.4-3 ii python-twisted-mail 16.6.0-2 Versions of packages buildbot suggests: pn bzr | subversion | cvs | mercurial | darcs | git <none> -- no debconf information -- Stephen M.
