Hi Simon,

This is an excerpt from dpkg -l '*python2.[34]*'
ii python2.3 2.3.5-14 un python2.3-minimal <none> un python2.4 <none> ii python2.4-minimal 2.4.3-7
# aptitude install python2.4
followed by # aptitude install python-docutils

yields a complete install with no configuration errors.
I had previously purged python-docutils to eliminate errors on every aptitude 
upgrade

Could you please confirm what version of python2.4 and python2.4-minimal
you have, if any? I suspect you have python2.4-minimal but no python2.4.

What I imagine has happened is: docutils relies on having a "full" version
of the Python runtime to compile its modules (it needs the utf-8 encoding);
the same is likely to be true for other modules. However, if the user has
python2.3 and python2.4-minimal but not python2.4, the infrastructure will
try to compile for both Python 2.3 and Python 2.4, causing the 2.4
compilation to fail.

I'll raise a bug against python-defaults.

        Simon

Colm.
