[Pkg-zenoss-team] Bug#517314: wmi: generates incorrect package with python-support from experimental

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: wmi
Version: 1:0.1.13-1

Hi,

the wmi rules file contains the following:

        cd pycom; python setup.py install \
                                --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/python-wmi \
                                --install-purelib=/usr/share/python-support/python-wmi \
                                --install-platlib=/usr/lib/python-support/python-wmi/$(PYTHON) \
                                --no-compile -O0

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
the files installed in /usr/lib/python-support are ignored and the built
package is, as such, broken. (Note that the packages already built will
not break upon upgrade, only those built against the newer
python-support version will fail.)

You should remove the --install-* options, installing these packages to
a standard place instead of adding all this complexity. Then,
dh_pysupport will pick them and do whatever is fit.

As a general rule, please avoid relying on the internals of
python-support in the packaging unless necessary; this will avoid such
issues in the future (although hopefully there won’t be a need to change
the paths any further).

Thanks,
--
