Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5.4-3 Severity: normal Debian patch linux2-platforms.dpatch introduced in order to fix [1] render sys.platform incompatible with the offical python documentation for alpha, hppa, mips and sparc.
In fact, for there architectures the value of sys.platform is linux2-$ARCH (e.g. "linux2-alpha") while, according to [2] it should be just "linux2". If python code need to know the actual architecture, it should rather use platform.machine() Thanks, Ludovico [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499132 [2] http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.platform -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python2.5 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.5 4.5.20-13.1 Berkeley v4.5 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.6.21-2 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-8 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.5-minimal 2.5.4-3 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.5 recommends no packages.
