Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-12129:
--------------------------------------------
CASSANDRA-10853 migration from python-support to dh_python2 was fixed for:
Fix Version/s:
2.1.15, 2.2.7, 3.0.6, 3.6
You didn't mention what version you were attempting to install, but the ones
above should work fine on Ubuntu 16.04. Older Cassandra debs than above will
indeed have this problem, but it's possible to also probably grab
python-support (and deps) from a previous Ubuntu release, if you must.
Please, reopen this ticket and let us know if the above versions or greater
don't install cleanly!
> deb Packages cannot be installed under Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) due to missing
