It has to do with the Python transition. Simply passing --install- layout=deb wasn't working as setting the prefix as /usr was over-ridding it and still installing pyste to /usr/local
Here's the relevant part of the diff: -pyste_prefix = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev/usr +pyste_root = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev [snip] - cd libs/python/pyste/install && python setup.py install --no-compile --prefix=$(pyste_prefix) --install-lib=$(pyste_prefix)/share/python-support/pyste - mv $(pyste_prefix)/bin/pyste.py $(pyste_prefix)/bin/pyste + cd libs/python/pyste/install && python setup.py install --no-compile --root=$(pyste_root) --install-layout=deb --install-lib=$(pyste_root)/usr/share/python-support/pyste + mv $(pyste_root)/usr/bin/pyste.py $(pyste_root)/usr/bin/pyste I suppose I could have just used: pyste_prefix = $(CURDIR)/debian/libboost-python$(PKGVERSION)-dev/ But renaming it to pyste_root better represents what it now is. It's only applicable to Debian in so far as it is part of the transition which they've yet to do. I'll submit a patch to BTS including all the python transition changes. -- Please merge boost1.37-1.37.0-9ubuntu1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370186 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
