[Python-modules-team] Bug#824108: python-django: Insufficient build-dependency on python-sphinx

[Micha Lenk]

Source: python-django
Source-Version: 1.9.6-1

Hi,

for internal purposes I just tried to create a backported Debian package 
of python-django by building the package in a jessie environment. This 
failed with the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/mlenk/python-django-1.9.6/docs'
sphinx-build -b djangohtml -n -d _build/doctrees -D language=   . 
_build/html
Making output directory...
Running Sphinx v1.2.3

Sphinx version error:
This project needs at least Sphinx v1.3 and therefore cannot be built 
with this version.
Makefile:49: recipe for target 'html' failed
make[2]: *** [html] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/mlenk/python-django-1.9.6/docs'
debian/rules:17: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_build' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mlenk/python-django-1.9.6'
debian/rules:10: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

So, apparently the version requirements on python-sphinx defined in 
Build-Depends are not strict enough.

Best regards,
Micha
