Package: awscli Version: 1.20.53-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On a system running bullseye (11.1), I wanted to install a newer version of awscli. So I added sources.list entries for testing, set APT::Default-Release "bullseye"; and then # apt-get install -t testing install awscli This installed awscli 1.20.53-1, but it did not change python3-botocore which remained at version 1.20.0+repack-1 (from bullseye) because awscli only requires python3-botocore >= 1.20.0. "aws help" worked but this failed: $ aws lambda update-function-configuration help 'StructureShape' object has no attribute 'is_document_type' I then upgraded python3-botocore to the bookworm version, 1.21.53+repack-1: # apt-get install -t testing python3-botocore and now awscli seems to function correctly. It seems to me that awscli should have a tighter dependency on python3-botocore. (I am a bit confused by the version numbers; it looks as if awscli 20.x corresponds to boto3 21.x ? What's going on there?) Thanks, Phil.
