Package: python-openturns Version: 0.13.2-6 Severity: serious Severity: serious as this breaks random other packages (like castle-combat).
Packages shipping their public modules in the dist-packages directory should never need to add their own namespace to sys.path. Unfortunately openturns does so: % cat /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openturns.pth openturns This breaks various random packages as openturns comes with common module names like 'common' and 'test'. Please note that there is never a need for packages which ship their modules in dist-packages to modify sys.path - you can always import them by using modulename.module. I'm not sure what the reason in http://trac.openturns.org/ticket/67 was to add the .pth file, but doing so was just wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.7-think (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) 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 python-openturns depends on: ii ghostscript 8.71~dfsg2-6 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libatlas3gf-base [libla 3.8.3-28 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libblas.so. 1.2-8 Basic Linear Algebra Reference imp ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.4.5-8 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii liblapack3gf [liblapack 3.2.2-1 library of linear algebra routines ii libopenturns0 0.13.2-6 dynamic libraries for OpenTURNS ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze1 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-central 0.6.16+nmu1 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-qt3 3.18.1-4 Qt3 bindings for Python ii python-rpy2 2.1.9-1 Python interface to the GNU R lang python-openturns recommends no packages. python-openturns suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
