python-xdg actually is python-pyxdg

[stacyharper]

Hello there,

I'm trying to package a python module named remhind but it depends on the xdg python module. I can't package this dependency cause there already is a python-xdg. python-xdg install the pyxdg module.

Is there a way to "rename" cleanly a void package ? Is it a good idea ? Do I have alternatives to fix my dependency issue ?

Thanks a lot ! Kiss

This shouldn't be necessary.

Just using it should be enough, maybe you misused py2 version python-xdg instead of python3-xdg?
If this won't work, you can push wip pull request.

There are two separate packages.

https://github.com/srstevenson/xdg

We have a policy of renaming python modules like pygtk or pyxdg to python-gtk or python-xdg. But someone can still publish actual gtk or xdg modules that are different.
