[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1039565: python-biopython: Please avoid the python3-renderpm dependency, it got dropped by its Debian maintainer

[Lukas Märdian]

Package: python-biopython
Version: 1.80+dfsg-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com

Dear Maintainer,

The python3-renderpm binary package got dropped by its (new) maintainer since src:python-reportlab 4.0.4-1.
This makes python-biopython's build- & autopkgtests fail.

Please see https://bugs.debian.org/1037483 for reference.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Drop python3-renderpm dependency, as this binary got dropped from
    src:python-reportlab by its (new) maintainer. (LP: #2025133)

Thanks for considering the patch.
