I am working on an already existing build for my company. We have a local snapshot of OpenWRT 18.06.04 and a proprietary feed of our own, which makes use of some standard Makefiles and patches. This has been working well for some time.
Our application is written mostly in Python, and the feed's main Makefile takes care of the installation of python packages.
When considering upgrading from 18.06 to 19.7, I saw that some of the elements which the old version of the Makefile attempts to install are no longer needed, because they are offered as part of the more recent Python ecosystem. In fact, in order to prevent some configuration errors, I had to remove them.
Once the build proceeds past those errors, the 19.07 build system behaves differently to the 18.06, though, and I am having trouble finding out what's going wrong.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
The Makefile consist of the following:

PKG_RELEASE := 1
PKG_NAME := hanip
PKG_VERSION_MAJOR := 2.1
PKG_VERSION := $(PKG_VERSION_MAJOR).1
