[Python-modules-team] Bug#866016: FTBFS: Required python-mockldap version not available in sid

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Source: django-auth-ldap
Version: 1.2.12+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

django-auth-ldap currently fails to build from source in Sid.

When attempting to install build dependencies, I get the following error 
message:

$ sudo apt build-dep django-auth-ldap
Reading package lists... Done
Reading package lists... Done

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:
  builddeps:django-auth-ldap : Depends: python-mockldap (>= 0.2.7~) but 
it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: python3-mockldap (>= 0.2.7~) but 
it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


It looks like the required version of python-mockldap didn't migrate 
from experimental to unstable at the same time as this package.

On the bright side, it seems like 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782917 can be 
resolved, even though the bug number isn't mentioned in the changelog :)
