At the time of this writing, the Ubuntu package is still out of date, so it's still broken. To work around this, install MySQLdb using easy_install.
Here is what I did: apt-get remove python-mysqldb # Remove outdated version apt-get install python-setuptools # This package has easy_install, the tool you'll use to reinstall MySQLdb ### This might fail if you don't have some essentials. See below. easy_install MySQL-python ### If you got an error about missing mysql_config, you'll need to install that. It's in libmysqlclient-dev sudo aptitude search libmysqlclient # See what version of you are using. Assuming its 15, then do... apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev # Building MySQLdb will require mysql_config, in this package. apt-get install python-dev # It'll also need Python.h and some other stuff in here ### If you have a really fresh system, you'll need all the regular build tools. Just for kicks, load up on these: apt-get install binutils-doc gcc-multilib make manpages-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool # Now, this BETTER work easy_install MySQL-python -- Deprecated module sets with python 2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341943 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
