Thanks for the fix. =) 
 
About the GPL issue I mentioned: 
 
It doesn't matter whether the sources the author provides have a Makefile to 
create the pysol_23.pyc -- the GPL still requires the distribution of the 
source files when distribute binaries, even if they are available from some 
third party.  
 
Anyway, I'm not the copyright holder, and if the author of pysol (or it's GPL'd 
libraries that it uses) doesn't say anything, then nobody is going to bother 
you about the violation. But as a Linux distributor, doesn't it seem like the 
right thing to do to follow the GPL, whether or not an author complains? It 
really doesn't look good when Linux distributions violate the GPL. =( 
 
BTW, the README from the source package says that the pysol_23.pyc is basically 
just a compiled concatination of the files--it doesn't give instructions how to 
do this, but it seems straightforward. If you don't want to build the .pyc from 
the sources, you ought to just include them in the /usr/share/doc tree instead.
