currently this is addressed in 2.5-5ubuntu8 by ignoring errors when byte-compiling packages when a new runtime is installed (rtinstall), there's no ideal solution:
- moving rtinstall into the python2.5 package leaves packages unavailable when just python2.5-minimal is installed. site.py (config file) is not available, if python2.5-minimal is not yet configured. - ignore the errors and re-run rtinstall in apt's Dpkg::Post-Invoke hook. - move the codecs and encodings from the python2.5 package into python2.5-minimal. Increases the compressed size of -minimal by 580kB, omitting the multibyte codecs increases the size by 200k. -- python2.5-minimal breaks update from Edgy to Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/88512 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
