Package: libboost-python1.40-dev
Version: 1.40.0-2
Severity: important
Hi,
Would be nice to fix the Depends field with python version :
For now we have :
python (<< 2.6)
python (>= 2.4)
python (>= 2.5)
python (>= 2.5) should be replaced by python (>= 2.4)

Right; let's unpack this and display the AND clauses one-per-line:
Depends: libboost1.40-dev (= 1.40.0-2),
libboost-python1.40.0 (= 1.40.0-2),
python-dev,
python (<< 2.6),
python (>= 2.4),
python-support (>= 0.90.0),
python (>= 2.5) | python-celementtree | python-elementtree,
gccxml
To answer your question: clearly the minimum version of python
is 2.4.
However, you also need elementtree. You can satisfy the dependencies
using:
(a) python 2.4 and python-celementtree; or
(b) python 2.5
among other possibilities.
