Python packages depending on *python3.7* uninstallable on Debian 11 (testing/bullseye)

paulmenzel commented 3 years ago

The three packages below cannot be upgraded to on Debian sid/unstable, as they depend on the package python3.7, while the current version is python3.9.

Could they just depend on python3?

I think it's OK now

Yes, it is fixed. Thank you very much.

Sorry, unfortunately, I misinterpreted the apt full-upgrade output.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The package are still there in apt list --upgradable.

The package nightly does not depend on the three python packages anymore, so your test command probably didn’t run into this. The command below wouldn’t remove nightly.

$ sudo LANG=C apt purge python3-certifi python3-psutil python3-urllib3

After this operation, 15.3 MB disk space will be freed.

The packages themselves still depend on python3.7. As they do not seem to be needed anymore, maybe remove the three packages from the archive?

Vitexus commented 3 years ago

New version now require only: libc6 libgcc1 libstdc++6 packes

The nightly binary do not use lot of system dependencies:

vitex@exiv:~$ ldd /opt/nightly/firefox-bin | awk '/=>/{print $(NF-1)}'  |   while read n; do apt-file search $n; done |   awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/://' | sort | uniq
libc6
libgcc1
libstdc++6
vitex@exiv:~$ ldd /opt/nightly/firefox-bin
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdc0de7000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f8fedcce000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f8fedcc9000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f8fedb45000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f8fed9c2000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f8fed9a8000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f8fed7e7000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f8feddde000)

So there is not reason to require all debian's firefox-esr depenencies.

paulmenzel commented 3 years ago

Sorry for not being able to communicate my problem better. My point is, that if the Python packages are in the archive http://repo.vitexsoftware.cz sid/main, APT is going to see them nevertheless – if needed or not, and wants to upgrade to the version failing due to the python3.7 dependency. If the Python packages are not needed, they should be removed.

Vitexus commented 3 years ago

Ah, I'll do repository cleanup.
