Bug#991864: unblock: i2c-tools/4.2-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package i2c-tools
[ Reason ]
During the "transition" from Python 2 to Python 3, I forgot to update
the Suggests: entry from python-smbus to python3-smbus. As a consequence
apt suggests a non-existing package, and users do not get suggested to
install python3-smbus.
[ Impact ]
To be honest, if the unblock isn't granted, it is not the end of the
world, and I would totally understand if this bug is just closed.
However given a user bothered to report a bug (initially with severity
important), and that the changes are trivial, I am just giving it a try.
[ Tests ]
Only manual installation of the package has been done to test the
changes.
[ Risks ]
The risks are very very low, as the changes are trivial, do not concern
the shipped code but only the Suggests: entry, and given that apt does
not install suggested packages by default.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
