Yeah, it seems that the problem is that there is not a numarray package for python 2.5 in debian sid (there is an explicit 'python (<< 2.5)' in package dependencies). I'm not sure why, but it might be due to the fact that numarray w/ python2.5 is not safe in 64-bit platforms. This should be fixed by requiring 'python (<< 2.5)' in the pytables package. Anyway, PyTables 2.0 is around the corner and it gets rid of the numarray dependency (it depends on NumPy instead), so it shouldn't have any problem with python2.5 in 64-bit platforms. Hence, perhaps it would be wiser to wait until PyTables 2.0 arrives in order to provide a better solution to this issue. Cheers, -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.
