Package: python3-spglib Version: 2.2.0-2 Severity: normal We have dh_python3 to help automatically identify python package dependencies when building a package.
It's unable to identify spglib, however. For instance a pymatgen build log shows dh_python3 -a -O--buildsystem=pybuild I: dh_python3 pydist:302: Cannot find package that provides spglib. Please add package that provides it to Build-Depends or add "spglib python3-spglib" line to debian/py3dist-overrides or add proper dependency to Depends by hand and ignore this info. I'm not sure exactly why dh_python3 can't identify it. I would have thought it could find out which package provides /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spglib. But it's not doing that. Maybe it's a bug in dh-python. But I notice that python3-spglib doesn't provide the .dist-info directory that most other python packages provide. I guess dh-python is using the dist-info mechanism to identify packages. Perhaps we should file a bug against dh-python for it to run something like "dpkg -S /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/<pymodule>" if it doesn't find a dist-info entry. In the meantime, I figure spglib's lack of dist-info occurs because it's a cmake build rather than a python setuptools build, in which case the problem sits alongside Bug#1061263. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.6.9-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) 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 python3-spglib depends on: ii libc6 2.37-13 ii libsymspg2 2.2.0-2 ii python3 3.11.6-1 ii python3-numpy 1:1.24.2-2 python3-spglib recommends no packages. python3-spglib suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
