Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-mako

~$ aptitude show python-mako | egrep Depends\|Recommends
Depends: python, python-central (>= 0.5.8)
Recommends: python-beaker (>= 0.7.1)

~$ cat /usr/share/pycentral/python-mako/site-packages/Mako-0.1.10.egg-info/requires.txt
Beaker

~$ dpkg -S /usr/share/pycentral/python-mako/site-packages/Mako-0.1.10.egg-info/requires.txt
python-mako: /usr/share/pycentral/python-mako/site-packages/Mako-0.1.10.egg-info/requires.txt

The `Recommends` is fine as long as you have that `with-recommends` option enabled in apt – It however should also work without.

I've checked the packages of all supported ubuntu versions, it's all the same, it just recommends Beaker.

In case it might help: This caused a problem when using Pygments:
- Install python-mako and python-pygments (--without-recommends)
- Run `list(pygments.lexers.get_all_lexers())`
- Raises DistributionNotFound: Beaker

We have just discovered (thanks to Florian Apolloner and Georg Brandl) that mako does not depend from beaker if one does not use the cache functionality. Considering that the Recommends in the package is justified – but then beaker must be removed from the requires.txt (either upstream or just in the Ubuntu package) to avoid such problems as described above. I don't know both tools so I don't know which one is the better solution.

This bug was fixed in the package mako - 0.2.5-2

---------------
mako (0.2.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add --prefix=/usr to setup.py's install command (fixes FTBFS bug with
    python2.6)
  * Remove requires.txt from Python's Egg metadata (dpkg handles dependencies
    way better, closes LP: #461281)

mako (0.2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * debian/copyright file updated
  * Switch to python-support
    - debian/preinst file added (to remove python-central files)
  * Standards-Version bumped to 3.8.3 (no changes needed)
