[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#988745: vtk-dicom: autodep8-python3 autopkgtest failure

[Étienne Mollier]

Source: vtk-dicom
Version: 0.8.12-1+b2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Greetings,

While looking up the unrelated bug #988643, I noticed that the
package triggered an autodep8 python3 autopkgtest failure:

	autopkgtest [21:45:13]: test autodep8-python3: set -e ; for py in $(py3versions -d 2>/dev/null) ; do cd "$AUTOPKGTEST_TMP" ; echo "Testing with $py:" ; $py -c "import vtk_dicom; print(vtk_dicom)" ; done
	autopkgtest [21:45:13]: test autodep8-python3: [-----------------------
	Testing with python3.9:
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
	ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vtk_dicom'
	autopkgtest [21:45:13]: test autodep8-python3: -----------------------]

This crash is due to a mismatch between the module name derived
from the package name, and the actual Python module name, which
is vtkDICOMPython:

	>>> import vtk_dicom
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
	ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vtk_dicom'
	>>> import vtkDICOMPython
	>>> print(vtkDICOMPython)
	<module 'vtkDICOMPython' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/vtkDICOMPython.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'>

The fix would be to override the import name, with a file
debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-python.conf containing the
following statement, hence the "patch" tag:

	import_name = vtkDICOMPython

Albeit superficial, the autopkgtest failure would prevent
migration to testing, hence the severity.

Have a nice day,  :)
