Subject: python-minimal postinst script should specify complete python path

Date: Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:50:05 +1200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: python-minimal
Version: 2.6.5-0ubuntu1launchpad1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

The python-minimal postinst script contains this line:

python -m compileall /usr/share/python/ >/dev/null

My unlucky officemate had python 2.4 installed as /usr/local/bin/python, and as
/usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin in roots $PATH (this surprised me, fwiw),
python2.4 is used to try to compile the various things using 2.5 and 2.6 syntax
in /usr/share/python with confusing results.

This was encountered on an Ubuntu system during the upgrade from Lucid to
Maverick, but the postinst script is still the same in sid as far as I can
tell.

   [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
   * Add README.derivatives (source package)
   * dh_python2:
     - add dist_fallback file with a list of Python distribution name and
       Debian package name pairs (to be used as a fall back source for
       PyDist feature)
     - if dist_fallback and `dpkg -S` fails to find the right package name,
       fall back to package name recommended by Debian Python Policy (use
       debian/pydist-overrides file to override)
     - disable PyDist feature if dh_pydeb is in debian/rules
   * Use versioned interpreter name rather than "python" only in
     python-minimal.postinst (closes: 595826)
 .
   [ Matthias Klose ]
   * python.mk (py_libdir): Return /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages for 3.x
     versions.
   * python.mk (py_pkgname): New macro to refer the package name depending
     on the python version.
