nodejs depends on python3-minimal contrary to debian/ubuntu policy

Open belm0 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

For every Python version provided in Debian, the binary package pythonX.Y-minimal might exist and should not be depended upon by other packages except the Python runtime packages themselves.

https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/index.html#minimal-packages

It's ambiguous in the policy, but does it apply to pythonX-minimal too? I would say yes. For example see this discussion on debian/ubuntu Python policy:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/01/msg00077.html

--> change the nodejs dependency from python3-minimal to python3
