Bug Description

Call guess_dependency('foo') when foo is not at all present on a system. guess_dependency will try running a command that looks like: "dpkg -S 'foo-?*\\.egg-info' | grep '/python2\\../\\|/pyshared/'". This command runs, prints output to stderr, and that output is displayed in the stderr of whatever program is calling guess_dependency.

Instead, no output should be displayed at all. Functions should give feedback via return values or raised exceptions.

The way to do this is to add stderr=PIPE to the arguments to Popen.

This bug was fixed in the package python-defaults - 2.7.2-5ubuntu1

---------------
python-defaults (2.7.2-5ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian Experimental. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Package priorities and status.
    - Adjust version numbers in maintainer scripts.
    - Provide Python pkgconfig defaults

python-defaults (2.7.2-5) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
  * dh_python2:
    - generates rtupdate scripts for private directories that compile files
      from given package only, add --compile-all to dh_python2's call if you
      want the old behaviour (i.e. compile also files (plugins?) provided by
      other packages, which do not use a helper/bytecompile them)
    - add --no-dbg-cleaning option (to disable removing files from debug
      packages)
    - fix handling "distname[features]" in debpython.pydist.guess_dependency
      (closes: 636255)
  * pyclean now accepts --package and private dir argument at the same time

  [ Scott Kitterman ]
  * debpyhton/pydist: Incorporate patch from Jonathan Lange to stop printing
    to stderr (LP: #812960)
  * Add Piotr Ożarowski <email address hidden> back to Uploaders
