Life can be complicated at times! :)
I admit that the way this Python 3.4 => 3.6 update worked suprised me.
I have binary packages that depend on several python34-* packages. The
update broke those in a couple of ways; not only by the disappearance
of the pycurl and mysql pieces, but by the fact that '/usr/bin/python3'
got changed to point to '/usr/bin/python3.6' rather than
'/usr/bin/python3.4'.
What is best practice for specifying Python dependencies so that they
will survive this sort of thing?
Well, you can specify directly /usr/bin/python3.4 if you need
specifially python3.4. If you only specified 'python3' in theory either
one should work for that.
