Package: sonata
Version: 1.5-3
Severity: minor
Here's the error I get when installing (but see comments below):

There is obviously the use of descriptors, which python2.3 doesn't
support. Further investigation show that python2.3 isn't in Debian
unstable anymore, but was still installed on my system because packages
aren't automatically removed just because they're not in the archive
any more. Since I didn't actually need it, I removed it (along with
python2.1 :-)), and yes, sonata now installs just fine. So the real
question is: why is install system (python-central?) using the obsolete
version of python by default?
This really isn't a sonata problem, but since I know zip about the
python packaging stuff, I'll let you reassign it appropriately.
