Public bug reported:
Attempting to install the most recent version of libapache2-mod-wsgi on
Maverick attempts to install python3. The dependencies rules clearly
attempted to allow it to be installed with python2.6 but fail.
I discussed this with Barry Warsaw and he commented:
"""
The packaging isn't technically broken, but it doesn't conform to the rules
we've established on the debian-python team for specifying Python 2 and Python
3 packages. We decided that we were going to have two separate stacks, but
they've conflated the Python 2 and Python 3 dependencies from this line in the
debian/control file:
Depends: apache2, apache2.2-common, libc6 (>= 2.4), libpython2.6 (>=
2.6), libpython3.1 (>= 3.1), python (>= 2.6), python (<< 3.2)
So given that, it does make sense that installing libapache2-mod-wsgi would
bring in libpython3.1.
What they should have done is created a second binary package for the Python 3
dependent binary. The other issue is the naming convention. Generally we
like things like python-foo and python3-foo for the two separate binaries, so
this package should probably be renamed python-libapache2-mod-wsgi and
python3-libapache2-mod-wsgi.
