Problems with dpkg installation of csv2odf version 2.10 on Debian 11.10

[Philip Stanford]

I've previously used version 2.09 of this very useful package on an older Debian system.
I'm now trying to install it on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Debian 11.10 ('Bullseye').
I'm aware that version 2.10 requires Python 3 - which I have, but the installation is failing as below:

# ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar  2  2021 /usr/bin/python -> python3
# python --version
Python 3.9.2
# dpkg -i csv2odf_2.10-1.deb
Selecting previously unselected package csv2odf.
(Reading database ... 53432 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack csv2odf_2.10-1.deb ...
Unpacking csv2odf (2.10) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of csv2odf:
 csv2odf depends on python (>= 3.0); however:
  Package python is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package csv2odf (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.4-2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 csv2odf

It does appear to run if I unpack the .tgz version and call it using 'python csv2odt' but I would prefer to use the package-managed install if possible.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

Phillip,

Thanks for that info. It looks like there was a dependency error in the deb package, it should have depended on the python3 package.

I have uploaded a new package (csv2odf_2.10-2.deb). You can test at you convenience.

Let me know if that does not fix it.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry thanks for such a quick response!
Glad to be able to report that the new version of the package installs without any errors.

Phil
