Good. I'm hypersensitive about this because whitespace differences have been preventing my python programs from running. I've been using eric and emacs for python programming, and they each have different notions of proper whitespace. For example, I created a program in emacs, and then edited it in eric. The result was that python refused to run the program until I made the whitespace consistent. > > > Or that that is something > > shipped with python 2.5? > > This was caused by python-support being configured while python2.5 was > not.

It did not cause the upgrade to fail, as far as I can tell. If there's something you can do to quiet the message it might avoid confusion for others (pre-depends? a note in README.Debian?). > > > BTW I'm also getting messages like > > Setting up python2.5-minimal (2.5-5) ... > > Linking and byte-compiling packages for runtime python2.5... > > INFO: using unsupported version '/usr/bin/python2.5' > > in that upgrade and since, with various packages (e.g., reportbug). > > The significance is unclear to me, though I take it from INFO that it's > > not a big deal. > > It is just python-central being sectarian about what python versions can > be installed. Oh, I thought it meant the indicated program would use python2.5. Is it just python-central complaining it's being run under the "wrong" python? My /usr/bin/python still points at 2.4.
Thanks for all the info, and the quick response. Ross
