Comment:
Replying to [comment:17 medlock]:
> The patch to python-2.6.4.p10/src/setup.py is applied on all hosts, not
just Debian and derivatives, but the new code will end up doing nothing on
non-Debian-derived hosts. This is how the build is set up in Python 2.7.
Just to make it a bit clearer: The code also doesn't change the search
paths on ''older Debian / Ubuntu systems'', regardless if `dpkg-
architecture` is installed or not, so won't break anything there.
(Tested with Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04; `dpkg-architecture` there doesn't know
`DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH` and therefore exits with a non-zero status such that
nothing gets added to the paths.)
[[BR]]
> Note that on Debian and derivatives, if the command `dpkg-architecture`,
from the package dpkg-dev, is not available, the build will fail as
before.
Again, of course the build will only fail on ''newer'' Debian derivatives
which require a change (more precisely: additions) to the search paths.
----
Could someone please update the p11 / provide a new p11 spkg (by applying
only [attachment:11447-Python-Debian-multiarch.patch] to p10 I guess)?

description) is not current.'''
