python-pygresql requires libpq5 to work

[Scott Kitterman]

If you use python-pygresql on a system that has never have postgresql installed, you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "stddev5.py", line 12, in <module>
    import pg
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pg.py", line 21, in <module>
    from _pg import *
ImportError: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libpq5 in Feisty solves this problem.

Fix attached. Adding ${shlibs:depends} is enough.

Built the current gutsy package with the added depends and then it demanded libpq5, after it was installed, it ran fine. This change is important in the case of using the package to connect to a remove databse.

Confirmed based on same report in Debian too.

Thank you for the patch. I'm not sure that's worth a stable update, the workaround is easy enough and there is not lot of users who opened a bug about it

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

pygresql (1:3.8.1-1ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Add ${shlibs:Depends} to depends (LP: #130792)

OK. Thanks for uploading for Gutsy. Generally for SRUs for Universe packages, if it's an easy, low risk fix like this I lean towards uploading it to -proposed so it's there for testing if there is interest, but I agree it's an easy enough work around.

Closing task according to the discussion.
