[Python-modules-team] Bug#517312: urwid: FTBFS with python-support in experimental

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: urwid
Version: 0.9.8.3-1

Hi,

The urwid rules file contains the following:

binary-install/python-urwid::
        chmod a+x debian/python-urwid/usr/share/python-support/python-urwid/urwid/*.py

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
such statements will make the package FTBFS, since the files are now
moved to a different directory (/usr/share/pyshared).

I suggest to do these things before the dh_pysupport call, and from the
standard installation directory:

install/python-urwid::
        chmod a+x debian/python-urwid/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/urwid/*.py

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,
--
