Well. Looks like I ran into my first big problem with Debian. Sniff... The system originally came with Python 2.1 installed and a whole schwack of stuff has dependencies on it. I would rather not remove it.
I am wanting to use Python 2.2. So I install Python2.2 with apt: apt-get install python2.2 Yeah. So now I have Python2.1 and Python2.2 on my system. And I can install a lot of python packages for Python2.2 with things like apt-get install pygame-python2.2 However with one of my packages for Python 2.2 it has Python as a dependency instead of Python2.2. Python is a "meta package" that is currently pointing at 2.1. This means whenever I try and install this package it fails because the Python package is the wrong version even though I do have Python2.2 on the system. So my question is how do I get by this? Is there a way to change which version of Python the meta Python package is pointing at? I tried force installing the package but next time I installed something it decided to remove it again. Does anyone have any ideas? Jeff
