Package: pygopherd
Version: 2.0.16
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The default version of python in sid is 2.4, but the modules of 
pygopherd are installed only in /usr/share/pycentral/ (dh_pycentral).

python 2.4 use modules from /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

We can specify python2.3 in /etc/init.d/pygopherd to force using the 
old version of python, or modify the rules script and make it 
future-safe

The following patch enables the package to work with python 2.4, but 
will broke python 2.3 compatibility.
Sorry I don't understand the python packaging system enough to provide a 
2.3/2.4 compatible one, like in 'python-imaging'
