Broken on Python 3.11/Debian testing?

[mgeier]

I just tried for the first time to upload a Deken package, but it gave me an error:

``` This is your first time running deken on this machine. I'm going to install myself and my dependencies into /home/mg/.local/share/deken-debian now. Feel free to Ctrl-C now if you don't want to do this. Installing deken.

You probably should install the following packages first: - 'python3-dev' - 'libffi-dev' - 'libssl-dev' ```

Given that it talks about Python < 3.11, I tried this:

PYTHON_BIN=python3.10

... but it didn't help. It looks like virtualenv still uses python3.11.

So I hacked /usr/bin/deken to use virtualenv --python=python3.10.

With that, the upload worked. As the very last line I got this:

No module named '_cffi_backend'

... but this doesn't seem to be a problem.

sigh. hy broken their versioning scheme, and we have to suffer.

in any case this is a problem with the Debian packaging, rather than here (where the problem is already solved).

please do create a Debian bug report (reportbug deken), with a high priority (as it makes the package unusable)

I have just created my first Debian bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030623, hooray!
