Package: lintian Version: 2.5.101 Severity: normal lintian reports ancient-python-version-field for python-apt, but removing that causes py{,3}versions to complain:
pyversions: missing X(S)-Python-Version in control file, fall back to debian/pyversions pyversions: missing debian/pyversions file, fall back to supported versions py3versions: no X-Python3-Version in control file, using supported versions hence the autopkgtests fail because of stderr, so it is not possible to remove those fields as lintian suggests. Lintian should not tell us to remove fields that then cause warnings in build tools. Or those tools should be fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers cosmic APT policy: (500, 'cosmic'), (100, 'cosmic-proposed') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-7-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) 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) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-5ubuntu1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.61-1build1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu5 ii file 1:5.34-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-7 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.63-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.40-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5ubuntu5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1build3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.74+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.4-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.2-7 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1build3 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5ubuntu5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3build1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.53-1 -- no debconf information -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
