Source: python-apt Version: 2.9.1 Severity: serious Seems the latest version of python-apt has some serious regressions as https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-apt shows wide-spread autopkgtest failures.
In a clean Debian unstable container a simple installation is failing with: Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid InRelease Get:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main all Contents (deb) [43.5 MB] Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Contents (deb) [15.8 MB] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/cnf-update-db", line 3, in <module> import apt_pkg ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt_pkg.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE10_M_replaceEmmPKcm, version APTPKG_6.0 Fetched 59.3 MB in 13s (4620 kB/s) Reading package lists...

Please also consider using better CI before uploads. I don't know if the root cause of these are the same, but a simple Salsa CI test run at https://salsa.debian.org/otto/python-apt/-/pipelines/769109 errors on: dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package python-apt dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 2.9.1+salsaci+20241126+1 dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by Julian Andres Klode <j...@debian.org> dpkg-source --before-build . dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64 debian/rules clean dh clean --with python3,sphinxdoc --buildsystem=pybuild dh_auto_clean -O--buildsystem=pybuild I: pybuild base:311: python3.13 setup.py clean Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builds/otto/python-apt/debian/output/source_dir/setup.py", line 141, in <module> setup( ~~~~~^ name="python-apt", ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ...<15 lines>... platforms="posix", ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ) ^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 117, in setup return distutils.core.setup(**attrs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/core.py", line 145, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) ~~~~~^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 333, in __init__ self.metadata.version = self._normalize_version(self.metadata.version) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 369, in _normalize_version normalized = str(Version(version)) ~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/packaging/version.py", line 202, in __init__ raise InvalidVersion(f"Invalid version: {version!r}") packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '2.9.1+salsaci+20241126+1' E: pybuild pybuild:389: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.13 setup.py clean dh_auto_clean: error: pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p "3.13 3.12" returned exit code 13 make: *** [debian/rules:17: clean] Error 25 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit status 2 If you want, I can submit a MR for you to enable Salsa CI in apt-python. However I wanted to check first if you want help, as in my previous submissions you have been rather dismissive to getting assistance and bug fixes (https://salsa.debian.org/jak/command-not-found/-/merge_requests/8, https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/348).
