[SRU]: python-pam contains no binaries (edgy)

[Laurent Bigonville]

Binary package hint: python-pam

Currently the python-pam package contains no binaries at all. Rebuilding it does the trick

See original bug #69967

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

The package can be found at http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4356

Hi,

python-pam is in main:
* unsubscribing motu-sru
* subscribing ubuntu-sru instead.

(since I've been looking at the debdiff, here just a comment:
Version number should probably be 0.4.2-10.4build0.1~proposed1.)

Cheers,
    Stefan.

Was already rebuilt in Feisty, closing Feisty task.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I sponsored the package and fixed the version number to be 0.4.2-10.4build0.1~proposed1, since Feisty has -10.4build1.

Please go ahead with QA testing.

I'm confused. Is this bug or is bug #69967 the bug for Edgy? The problem is that **edgy** has a totally useless python-pam package.

Ciao!

[Laurent Bigonville (bigon)]

This should be fixed now in edgy too. The package is in edgy-proposed now

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I verified this package with the following steps:

1. install python-pam from edgy
2. dpkg -L python-pam showed *no* python files

3. installed python-pam from edgy-proposed
4. dpkg -L python-pam shows python modules for both python2.4 and python2.5

HOWEVER:
python -c 'import PAMmodule'
gives me a error:
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initPAMmodule)

Please clarify if this is expected behaviour. I will not mark this verification done until that is clarified.

Cheers,
 Michael

PAMmodule is the wrong bit to import. That's the binary parts.

This is a legit test case:
# python2.5 -c 'import PAM; print "found",len(dir(PAM))'
found 55

Ciao!

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks a lot!

This works now indeed, I will mark the bug as verification-done.

I did a no-change upload to edgy-updates and accepted it.
