Those with scripts that specify a specific version of + Python2 must depend, recommend or suggest on that version of Python2 + (exactly). + . + For example, if a script in the package uses <code>#!/usr/bin/python2</code>, + the package needs a dependency on <code>python2</code>. If a script uses + <code>#!/usr/bin/python2.7</code>, the package needs a dependency on + <code>python2.7</code>. A dependency on <code>python (>= 2.7)</code> is not + correct, since later versions of Python2 may not provide the + <code>/usr/bin/python2.7</code> binary. + . + If you are using debhelper, adding <code>${python2:Depends}</code> to the + Depends field and ensuring dh_python2 is run during the build should + take care of adding the correct dependency. + . + In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, will + be more appropriate. |
