Ian, please see the thread starting at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/11/msg01034.html In short, Debian must rename at least one of the binaries called 'pip'. My first thought was to rename the perl pip because it was a more recent addition to Debian, but it's been pointed out that Perl's pip predates the Python one. Do you have any thoughts as to how we should proceed? -- Tim Retout <t...@retout.co.uk> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
