# `debian-rules-uses-installed-python-versions`

The package appears to use `py3versions -i` to determine the "installed" Python versions.

However, this can cause issues if a Python transition is in progress as the `-minimal` variant of the previous version (eg. `python3.X-minimal`) remains installed in many environments. This variant then provides enough of an interpreter to count as being "installed" but not enough for the tests themselves to succeed in most cases. This then prevents the overall transition from taking place.

Please replace this will a call to all "supported" packages instead (eg. `py3versions -s` and ensure `python3-all` is listed in the build dependencies.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
