Source: python-cffi
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so
Control: block 830966 by -1
Control: affects -1 python-cryptography vtk6
Dear Maintainer,
The versioned provides in enabled in 1.6.0-1 are preventing the buildds
from rebuilding vtk6 for the ongoing gdal transition (#830966), the
python-cryptography dependencies on the python-cffi-backend virtual
packages cannot be installed:
python-cffi-backend-api-min (<= 9729),
python-cffi-backend-api-max (>= 9729)
The buildd status page for vtk6 reports:
vtk6 build-depends on:
- amd64:python-twisted
amd64:python-twisted depends on:
- amd64:python-twisted-core (>= 16.2.0-1)
amd64:python-twisted-core depends on:
- amd64:python-openssl
amd64:python-openssl depends on:
- amd64:python-cryptography (>= 1.3)
amd64:python-cryptography depends on missing:
- amd64:python-cffi-backend-api-min (<= 9729)
Please disable the versioned provides until it's fully supported in all
Debian infrastructure, its support in britney is not sufficient.
python-cryptography and possibly other affected reverse dependencies of
python-cffi will need to be rebuilt after this issue is fixed to correct
their dependecies automatically set via ${python:Depends}.
Kind Regards,
Bas
