Subject: bug#65774: python updater clears inputs, leaves propagated-inputs empty
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2023 01:15:58 -0400

Hi,

I've had the Python updater produce this when attempting to update
fontmake:

gnu/packages/fontutils.scm:780:2: warning: fontmake: 'propagated-inputs'
field not found; leaving it unchanged

gnu/packages/fontutils.scm:780:2: warning: fontmake: expected
'propagated-inputs' value: (python-attrs python-fontmath
python-fonttools python-glyphslib python-ufo2ft python-ufolib2)

The choice of using inputs here was conscious, as it is a command, not a
library.  Perhaps it could check if the name starts with 'python-' or
not?  It's a bit 'magic', but it would help.
