I've gotten past most of the sanity check with standard apt-get / synaptic cherry-picking, but I'm stuck on python. Ubuntu seems to default to python 2.4. I installed python 2.5, but I see the sanity check doing `python -V` and it's failing because of this: % ls -l /usr/bin/python* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-01-31 18:23 /usr/bin/python -> python2.4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1019680 2006-10-11 17:52 /usr/bin/python2.4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1145032 2006-10-06 11:23 /usr/bin/python2.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1276 2006-10-06 11:23 /usr/bin/python2.5-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3031632 2006-10-06 11:13 /usr/bin/python2.5-dbg This could be considered an ubuntu-specific problem, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed? I'm trying hard to build this server without my usual dirty simlink hacknig :) Should I uninstall python 2.4? (I have a feeling ubuntu's not going to like that). Is there a way I could give sugar a hint about the non-standard python 2.5 path?
