Hi, Thanks for your bug report.
> Starting from Python 2.6, the installation paths for distutils have > changed. Instead of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, the default has > now changed to /usr/local. The build with python2.6 has been fixed in version 0.8.1-1 which has not been uploaded to the archive due the lack of a sponsor. A new version is available on mentors.d.n and it still fixes the issue. Someone said I should join #debian-python on OFTC and "add pointers to [my] packages to the channel topic". I'll do that when I get the chance. > To fix this issue, the recommended approach is to pass > "--install-layout=deb" to the "python setup.py" invocation.

I think the problem is about the same with dh : does not work with lenny. Therefore, if this is not against policy, I prefer to keep my current solution, that is until squeeze is frozen, at which point I'll migrate the box I need backports on to squeeze. Thanks, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with my solution. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
