  • Bug#1103630: dh-python: 6.20250414 causes showtime to fail to build

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Jeremy_B=C3=ADcha?=@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 19 21:50:01 2025
    Source: dh-python
    Version: 6.20250414
    Severity: grave
    Tags: ftbfs sid
    Control: affects -1 src:showtime

    I can build the showtime package successfully in Trixie. If I then
    install the dh-python 6.20250414 packages in my sbuild with unshare,
    the build fails. The showtime packaging is very simple.

    Hi Jeremy (2025.04.19_19:40:44_+0000)

    I agree that that's a regression, but it doesn't seem to be a serious
    one. It's trying to edit a file, and for some reason that file wasn't writeable.

    I can make it force permissions to be writeable before fixing the file,
    and close this bug, but I really think that the problem is the file's permissions.

    Stefano
