severity 806352 grave
thanks

I've already done numerous upgrades on jessie to 2015.12.

python-django-auth-openid is not compatible with django1.9 (#806352)
which is now in unstable and testing.

From the log:
  Setting up python-django (1.9-1) ...
  ....
  Setting up python-django-auth-openid (0.5-2.3) ...

This combination can never work and unless 806352 receives some help,
python-django-auth-openid is not going to work with django >> 1.8. (It
has had to have 3 NMUs and 4 separate compatibility patches applied
just to get to 1.8, with no upstream contributions for two years.)

lava-server dropped the dependency in 2015.12 in order to support
django1.9 but as python-django-auth-openid was installed in jessie, it
must be removed before any operation can be successful using django1.9.

Looks like lava-server in unstable will need a Conflicts: on
python-django-auth-openid

If there is any chance of django1.9 being backported to jessie, the
conflict will have to be added in jessie-backports too but that
doesn't help other packages using python-django-auth-openid in jessie.

It's possible that django1.9 will need to Conflict with
python-django-auth-openid if a backport of django1.9 is to be made.
