The python2.6 transition change was fixed in Debian too, so the only change left is the dependency on postfix over exim. I've submitted a bug to Debian requested an alternative depend be added on postfix so the package can be synced in the future.

Nick, I tried building your package but it FTBFS:

dh_gencontrol
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
Found files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (must be in dist-packages for python2.6).
debian/capisuite/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
debian/capisuite/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cs_helpers.py
dh_builddeb: dpkg-deb returned exit code 1
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
E: Failed autobuilding of package

It is python2.6 policy that distribution-packages should go to dist-packages, not site-packages.

Thanks.

[Nick Ellery (nick.ellery)]

Hmm... this is an old bug report which apparently I never subscribed sponsors for prior to becoming MOTU. Something must have caused it to FTBFS between then. I'll have a look at it.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

Nick, I've seen you uploaded this to karmic, but it FTBFS there also. FYI: When building your package with pbuilder, use 'sudo pbuilder --build --extrapackages pkgbinarymangler *.dsc' . That way, your pbuilder-environment will resemble more closely the buildd and you can test better if your package builds.

[Nick Ellery (nick.ellery)]

I don't exactly know why it FTBFS, as it built fine in my PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~nick.ellery/+archive/ppa). Are you aware of how to fix this FTBFS?

[Nick Ellery (nick.ellery)]

Ah, here we go. I fixed this by editting debian/patches/040_python26.diff as such:

-python_moduledir=$pythondir
-python_moduleexecdir=$pyexecdir
+python_moduledir="${python_libdir}/dist-packages"
+python_moduleexecdir="{python_libdir}/dist-packages"

Just to be sure I'm doing this right, would you mind test building this too before I upload it? I've attached a debdiff (this also includes another requested change).

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

That looks good and builds fine, thanks for your work. You want to upload it yourself?

[Nick Ellery (nick.ellery)]

I've uploaded it myself. Thanks a lot for testing it out for me.
