Hi Alastair, Working to resolve per-arch uninstallability of python3-magics++ in Ubuntu for the upcoming release, I found significant issues in the packaging that should be resolved. - The package build-depends on libeccodes-dev, but does not use it - It depends on libmagplus3v5, but nothing ensures that this package is only built for architectures on which libmagplus3v5 is available (both libmagplus3v5 and libeccodes have *similar* portability issues, but not identical; in Ubuntu we're now in the situation that we have architectures where libeccodes-dev is available but libmagplus is not) - It doesn't actually *use* libmagplus3v5, so this dependency is wrong; what it does use is libMagPlus.so, from libmagics++-dev, which is resolved via python3-ecmwflibs - But the package is missing an actual dependency on python3-ecmwflibs, so installing python3-magics++ by itself results in a python module that fails to import - But also, this package is a pure-python module containing no architecture-dependent code, so it should be Architecture: all anyway instead of Architecture: any (which also makes the per-arch installability issues go away) - And because it's architecture-independent it should build-depend on python3 - not python3-dev, which is for binary modules. Please find attached a patch addressing these issues, which has been uploaded to Ubuntu. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
