Simon, Thank you for the additional information and the patch. As you seem quite familiar with the python infrastructure I thought I'd mention one thing. You removed the python-minimal dependency, which I know is not recommended. The reason I added that is to ensure that a recent enough version is installed.
After initially building the new version of gramps, it wouldn't install. I tracked it down to having an old version of python-minimal; /usr/share/python/debian_defaults was not up to date. This made it impossible to install gramps as python 2.5 wasn't in the list of supported versions. As python has a strict version dependency on python-minimal I have changed the python-minimal dependency to python (>= 2.4.4-6). Does that seem reasonable to you? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. James Treacy Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? [EMAIL PROTECTED] A: Top-posting.
