[...] The full dependancies for python-docutils are pretty hairy. I think you will need the three packages as follows to support (almost) everything; Package: python-docutils Depends: python (>=2.2), python (<<2.4), python2.3 | python2.2, python2.2-xmlbase | python2.3, python-textwrap | python2.3, python-roman (this is the main package that puts all the modules in /usr/lib/site-python) Package: python2.2-docutils Depends: python-docutils, python2.2, python2.2-xmlbase, python-textwrap (this is just a wrapper to ensure proper support for python2.2) Package: python2.3-docutils Depends: python-docutils, python2.3 (this is just a wrapper to ensure proper support for python2.3) This allows you to support python (2.2), python (2.3), python2.2, and python2.3. The only limitation is python-distutils requires the default python, ie you can't install python2.2-distutils without python (2.3) and hence python2.3. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
