Dear Sandro,

First of all, I apologize for the delay in replying -- yesterday was
already late night here and I also had to fight (???) a "kernel panic"
in my Linux box the cause of which is not yet clear (I also had it
under Ubuntu Hardy and now it appeared in Intrepid -- under Hardy, I
substituted my only RAM chip and the problem disappeared, but now I
think the problem may be related to overheating -- it is the hottest
tropical summer here down under!).

Well, after following the steps you provided for creating the Debian
package for MPL, and installing all required dependencies, I still
could not create the package -- the reason is that the program keeps
complaining about an older version of python-sphinx, even if I
upgraded to the latest version it using easy_install... Maybe I will
have to build sphinx from souce too?

With best regards,

2009/1/12 Sandro Tosi <mo...@debian.org>:
