Bug#557915: pdfposter: installs files to /usr/local for Python >= 2.6
Jakub Wilk
Version: 0.4.4-1
Severity: important
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: python2.6 usr-local
Hello,
Starting from Python 2.6, the installation paths for distutils have
changed. /usr/local is now used by default.
When rebuilt against python-all{,-dev,-dbg} (and thus python2.6) from
Debian experimental (and with python2.6 as the default one), your binary
packages contained these files:
[pdfposter_0.4.4-1_all.deb]
/usr/local/bin/pdfposter
How to fix it?
==============
* try to pass "--prefix=/usr" to setup.py call, check if it's enough,
* if your package is using python-central:
- add "XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}" to all binary packages
that ship Python modules (.py files) or extensions (.so, including
_d.so) in debian/control, check if it's enough,
- try to convert to python-support[1], check if it's enough,
* add --install-layout=deb to setup.py call and bump minimum required
python{,-all,all-dev} build dependency to 2.5.4-1~, check if it's enough
* ask for help on #debian-python or debian...@lists.debian.org
