Interesting.  Thanks for this tidbit.

I got the 0.62 debs and tried installing them on a system w/ both
python2.1 and python2.2, only to get:

# dpkg -i tmda_0.62-1_all.deb python-tmda_0.62-1_all.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package tmda.
(Reading database ... 14653 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking tmda (from tmda_0.62-1_all.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package python-tmda.
Unpacking python-tmda (from python-tmda_0.62-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tmda:
 tmda depends on python (>= 2.2); however:
  Version of python on system is 2.1.3-3.1.
dpkg: error processing tmda (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-tmda:

dpkg: error processing python-tmda (--install):

After removing python2.1 (and related packages incuding 'python'), and
attempting an installation of tmda again:

# dpkg -i python-tmda_0.62-1_all.deb tmda_0.62-1_all.deb

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

(FWIW, it appears that the python package depends on the python2.1 package...)
