I managed to get my package built from reading http://www.wefearchange.org/2012/01/debian-package-for- python-2-and-3.html. Specifically , I had to add a section to the debian/rules file:
#!/usr/bin/make -f %: dh $@ --with python3 override_dh_auto_clean: set -ex; for python in $(shell py3versions -r); do \ $$python setup.py clean -a; \ done; I'm attempting a PPA upload now of this package, so whilst the package built locally, I don't know if it actually works...but at least I don't get the error any more! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017043 Title: dh_auto_clean tries to use python instead of python3 when --with python3 specified To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debhelper/+bug/1017043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
