Summary 0004090: Change the dependency from CSWpython-rt to CSWpython
Description Executive summary: CSWpython-rt is deprecated, please re-point your
dependencies at CSWpython.
Additional Information The upcoming release of Python (2.6.4) has a change related to
packaging. The CSWpython-rt package is now an empty, deprecated
package. It used to contain shared objects from Python. It was a
confusing package, because it made the impression that it's enough for
other Python-dependent packages to only depend on CSWpython-rt. In
fact, in all the cases, the whole Python package is necessary. It was
necessary to declare dependencies to both CSWpython and CSWpython-rt,
even though CSWpython required CSWpython-rt, so there was redundancy
involved.

In python-2.6.4, all the shared objects are in the CSWpython package.
Bugs will be filed against all the dependent projects to remove the
dependency on CSWpython-rt. When all the dependencies are removed,
the -rt package will be removed too.

If there is a package which does depend on CSWpython-rt but doesn't
depend on CSWpython, it can get into trouble if CSWpython happens to
be uninstalled. The potentially affected packages are:

pymysql
pysqlite
ooocore
trac
silvercity
pysqlite2
genshi
graphvizpython
