[Python-projects] .deb dependency problem (sort of...)

[Francisco Borges]

Hello,

I tried to install pylint on a Ubuntu Dapper machine using Logilab's
Debian Unstable repository.

There is a problem: none of the packages has python2.3 as a dependency
and yet python-logilab-common post install script
(/var/lib/dpkg/info/python-logilab-common.postinst) explicitly uses it.

Same goes for /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-logilab-astng.postinst
and /var/lib/dpkg/info/pylint.postinst.

Please consider requiring the a specific python version or reading the
default version from sys.version_info in these scripts.

I know "python" depends on python2.3 in Debian Unstable but nonetheless
it would be beter to have .deb's that are easily installable on other
Debian based dists.

Cheers,
