Package: python3-virtualenv Version: 15.1.0+ds-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
virtualenv in Debian 10 buster recently (today, I think) stopped working for both versions of Python. It now fails with “EnvironmentError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/pkg-resources/”. This seems to be due to this Debian patch: https://sources.debian.org/src/python-virtualenv/15.1.0+ds-2/debian/patches/use-wheels.patch/ I’m not sure why it worked before; perhaps there was some server-side workaround that was recently removed. One can pass ‘virtualenv --no-download’ as a workaround, though this may not be possible if virtualenv is invoked in the middle of a script download by some third-party installer. # virtualenv /tmp/v Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2 New python executable in /tmp/v/bin/python2 Not overwriting existing python script /tmp/v/bin/python (you must use /tmp/v/bin/python2) Installing setuptools, pkg_resources, pip, wheel...
