[Python-apps-team] Bug#516322: phatch: generates incorrect package with python-support from experimental

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: phatch
Version: 0.1.6-1

Hi,

the phatch rules file contains the following:
binary-install/phatch::
        rm -f debian/phatch/usr/share/python-support/phatch/phatch/phatch.py

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
this statement does nothing, since the files are now moved to a
different directory (/usr/share/pyshared). It does not prevent the
package from building, but the resulting package has the phatch.py
file in it.

In all cases, you should remove these files *before* calling
dh_pysupport, to avoid any manipulation it might do with them. Doing the
removal in the binary-install target and using the standard Python
directory there should be enough. (You probably also have to move the
python-distutils.mk include after the operation.)

As a general rule, please do not rely on the internals of python-support
in the packaging; this will avoid such issues in the future (although
hopefully there won’t be a need to change the paths any further).

Thanks,
--
