Actually, python 2.4 is required for the python upgrade. Upstream has (of course) fixed the gcc-4.1 problem already, so the upgrade closes it too, which is why I had coupled the two. You are right that it can be fixed independently. Basically, I need a single piece of information to judge whether a separate fix is a good idea: knowing whether python-defaults will be uploaded in the next week or so. Do you have an actual answer to this question? The people who might ignore questions on the subject. Thomas
