Followup-For: Bug #910226 Control: found -1 4.4.4+dfsg-3 The buggy package is *expeyes-web* not python3-expeyes.
And expeyes-web still has the call to py3compile -p python3-expeyes https://salsa.debian.org/georgesk/expeyes/blob/master/debian/expeyes-web.postinst#L68 where python3-expeyes is clearly the wrong package to be given as an argument (and not being installed at the time of the call). Setting up expeyes-web (4.4.4+dfsg-3) ... dpkg-query: package 'python3-expeyes' is not installed Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
