[Python-modules-team] Bug#928156: python3-setuptools-scm: uninstallable in stretch-backports: python3-distutils is not a separate package in stretch

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-setuptools-scm
Version: 3.2.0-1~bpo9+1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package is not
installable in stretch-backports:

# apt-get install python3-setuptools-scm -t stretch-backports
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
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:
 python3-setuptools-scm : Depends: python3-distutils but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


python3-distutils is not packaged separately in stretch.


Cheers,

Andreas
