Package: python3-numpy Version: 1:1.24.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #1003805 Dear Maintainer,
I second this request. By a quick survey of other « python3-xxxx » packages installed on my system, they all depend on python3:any (and not on python3.##:any). This means that *SOME* version of python3 will be installed, which, in almost all cases, is enough. Usually, it will be the current default version: today, 3.11 on sid, and when that bumps up to 3.12, then on most systems, all python3-xxx packages will switch to 3.12 in a manner essentially transparent to the user. If the user absoultely wants to use 3.12 today, there is nothing that prevents him or her to install python3.12 manually, and all python3-xxxx packages will also byte-compile to that automatically. On the other hand, with the hard Depends: of python3-numpy, the user is simply unable to decide NOT to isntall python3.12 , and this is indeed annoying to some. So, I request that you reduce the dependence to python3:any alone, as for other python3-xxxx packages. Yours, Itaï. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python3-numpy depends on: ii libatlas3-base [liblapack.so.3] 3.10.3-13 ii libblas3 [libblas.so.3] 3.11.0-2 ii libc6 2.37-13 ii liblapack3 [liblapack.so.3] 3.11.0-2 ii python3 3.11.6-1 ii python3-pkg-resources 68.1.2-2 ii python3.11 3.11.7-1 ii python3.12 3.12.1-1 python3-numpy recommends no packages.
