[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#754670: ibus: FTBFS: if python-gi-dev is installed

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

I can reproduce this FTBFS bug. (libpcrc3 and related packages are at
hold with testing version)

| dh_install --fail-missing -X.la
| dh_install: usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/IBus.py exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
| dh_install: usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/IBus.pyo exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
| dh_install: usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/IBus.pyc exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
| dh_install: usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/IBus.py exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
| dh_install: usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/__pycache__/IBus.cpython-34.pyc exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
| dh_install: usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/__pycache__/IBus.cpython-34.pyo exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere

Removing --fail-missing maybe a short term fix but what are these files
in gi/overrides directories are for.  IBus.py has:

| from gi.repository import GObject
| 
| from ..overrides import override
| 
| # for newer pygobject: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686828
| # from ..module import get_introspection_module
| # IBus = get_introspection_module('IBus')
| from ..importer import modules
| IBus = modules['IBus']._introspection_module
| 

As I see SPEC file of FEDORA, when this is generated, it makes some
extra package to store the result:

| %if %with_python2_override_pkg
| %package py2override
| Summary:        IBus python2 override library
| Group:          System Environment/Libraries
| Requires:       %{name}-libs%{?_isa}   = %{version}-%{release}
| # Owner of %%python2_sitearch/gi/overrides
| Requires:       pygobject3-base
| 
| %description py2override
| This is a python2 override library for IBus. The python files override
| some functions in gobject-introspection.
| %endif
...

In debian speak, this is something like ibus-py2override package.

I have no idea if this is required by some packages on Debian.  So far,
I have not seen one.  Does any one have idea?

Also, overrides under python3 side are not packaged.

Changwoo, do you have any use for installing thise files?
