Bug Description

Originally hit this trying to build a package in a chroot which depends on python-glance as a build depend, but coincidentally this is also a new issue on EC2 as cloud images no longer have python-support installed by default.

Also affects nova as python-support is not a listed dependency though update-python-modules is used in python-nova.postinst.

Adam Gandelman (gandelman-a) wrote :

Both packages use update-python-modules from postinst, which was previously being pulled in by other packages (related or unrelated) that rely on python-support. The dependency was being satisfied for free but since many (all?) of those have dropped python-support in favor of dh_python2, this assumption should be fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package nova - 2012.1~e3~20120113.12049-0ubuntu1

---------------
nova (2012.1~e3~20120113.12049-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  [Chuck Short]
  * New upstream version.
  * debian/nova_sudoers, debian/nova-common.install,
    Switch out to nova-rootwrap. (LP: #681774)
  * Add "get-origsource-git" which allows developers to
    generate a tarball from github, by doing:
    fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source-git
  * debian/debian/nova-objectstore.logrotate: Dont determine
    if we are running Debian or Ubuntu. (LP: #91379)

  [Adam Gandleman]
  * Removed python-nova.postinst, let dh_python2 generate instead since
    python-support is not a dependency. (LP: #907543)
