[Python-apps-team] Bug#959640: firmware-microbit-micropython: FTBFS: make[2]: python: Command not found

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: firmware-microbit-micropython
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
> # rename directories created from components tarballs (we note that
> # the underscore is not valid in the "component name" section of the
> # original source tarball filename, so must handle it here)
> mv yotta-targets yotta_targets
> mv yotta-modules yotta_modules
> # build the firmware
> make all
> make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
> python tools/makeversionhdr.py inc/genhdr/microbitversion.h
> make[2]: python: Command not found
> make[2]: *** [Makefile:22: inc/genhdr/microbitversion.h] Error 127

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
