Thanks for your bugreport. This is unfortunately difficult. python2.4 is no longer marked as supported and that means that with our python system no python2.4/site- package files are generated anymore when installing the python- distutils-extra build depend of python-apt. The tools (dh_python) are also messing around in the buld tree and remove files that look unsupported. So including 2.4 symlinks/libs in the python-apt package itself was not possible without a lot of hacking (if at all).
I now build a python2.4-apt package that contains the 2.4 files and can be co-installed with the normal python-apt. Its in lp:~mvo/python- apt/python2.4 and I will also push it to my PPA. I can try to push it for jaunty, but its already relatively late. ** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael Vogt (mvo) -- python-apt for python2.4 would be appreciated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
