Package: python-is-python3 Version: 3.9.2-2 Severity: normal Some third-party providers provide deb packages, which is nice of them, but they often refer to Python as python, even when their programs support python3. It's messy of course, but that's why the python-is-python3 package exists.
Since the third-party providers are providing a deb package, they tend to refer to python rather than python3 in the Depends field, Depends: python even though their software is compatible with python3. To allow for this, the python-is-python3 package needs to add Provides: python At the moment python-is-python3 only provides a /usr/bin/python symlink. To be useful for these third-party deb packages, python-is-python3 also needs to add Provides: python (versioned >= 3 if necessary). -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python-is-python3 depends on: ii python3 3.9.2-3 python-is-python3 recommends no packages. python-is-python3 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
