A smaller patch, the needed lines taken directly from the karmic version
** Attachment added: "paste-jaunty-packaging-2.patch"
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27458490/paste-jaunty-packaging-2.patch
** Description changed:
The packaging of python-paste was not updated for jaunty, so it installs
only for python2.6, even if python2.5 is still officially supported.
Impact:
This is a severe regression for webapps that use paster to run and still
depend on python2.5. Example is SchoolTool that is built on top of Zope 3.4,
which has several incompatibilities with python2.6 and thus requires 2.4 or 2.5
to run. Because of this bug after the server is upgraded to jaunty the
schooltool server fails to start.
Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pastescript
+ TEST CASE:
$ paster2.5 help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/paster2.5", line 18, in <module>
command.run()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/paste/script/command.py", line 83,

The patch attached to this bug was applied to a newer version of paste
in debian and karmic. The changes are similar to other packages updated
for python2.6 transition.
