Bug#588861: python-openturns: uninstallable in testing: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.5-5 is to be installed

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: python-openturns
Version: 0.13.2-2
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze
User: debian-python at lists.debian.org
Usertag: python2.6

Hello,

python-openturns is currently uninstallable in testing:

# apt-get install python-openturns
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   python-openturns: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.5-5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


We would normally fix this bug by simply binNMUing the package. However, 
openturns FTBFS in testing because of bug #586351:
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=openturns&ver=0.13.2-2%2Bb1&arch=i386&stamp=1277880044

openturns 0.13.2-5 (which has #586351 fixed and binaries recompiled with 
Python 2.6) cannot migrate to testing because of dependencies on atlas, 
which cannot be satisfied on armel. We tried to get rid of these 
dependencies by binNMUing it against liblapack-dev >= 3.2.2-1, but 
openturns failed to build:
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=openturns&ver=0.13.2-5%2Bb1&arch=armel&stamp=1278704225
We have no idea what's the reason of this FTBFS, as we were unable to 
reproduce it on the porterbox.
