Control: retitle -1 RFS:python3-berkeleydb/18.1.14-1 -- Python interface
for Berkeley DB (Python 3.x)

Hello Phil,

thank you for reply and the lintian hints.

Can I ask a few questions?

W: python3-berkeleydb source: source-package-encodes-python-version

How should I solve this?
If I rename the package to python-berkeleydb, I get

W: python3-berkeleydb source: mismatched-python-substvar

which tells me that the packages should depend on ${python3:Depends} when it appears to be a package for Python 2.x.

The *source* package should be named python-berkleydb and the *binary* package should be name python3-berkleydb. You can see an example of how that is done for the python-slip10 package:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-slip10

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-slip10/-/blob/debian/ master/debian/control?ref_type=heads

It is done this way so that the source package does not change when newer versions of Python are release, and also so that two different binary packages can be shipped during transitions if that is desirable.

lintian is not able to map them to the .rst files - maybe overriding the error is an option here (also avoids all the fiddly exclusion/repacking).

Lintian is known to have some false positives with this check. If the source is indeed there and this is a false positive (I haven’t checked myself), you can simply override the tags. Here is an example of how this is done if the qtwebengine package:
