Hi,
It looks like this bug is the only reason why update-notifier and
update-manager got removed from testing:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451459
The fix looks so obvious to me that I'm wondering whether I missed
something.
It looks like an old version of update-manager, which never made it
into a stable release, has left .pyc files behind. The fix seems to
be to remove them in postinst.
It looks like we should simply remove completely these two directories:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/SoftwareProperties/
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/UpdateManager/
I have checked that those files belong to update-manager (but at
another location, now), but I didn't find a way to make sure no other
package writes in the same directories.
Do you see any catch? Perhaps safer to remove each individual file as
listed in the bugreport, and then the directories if they get emptied?
Best regards, Thibaut.
