Package: python-central
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
as Joe Wreschnig noted on the debian-python list[1], it could
happen that users install Python packages locally with distutils.
Then python-central refuses to overwrite the already-installed
files and gives an error.
[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/06/msg00292.html
This patch overwrites the local files, which relieves the user from
deleting all those files manually (since distutils has no uninstall...)
Regards,
Bastian
