This is because the installation attempts byte compile for all installed python versions, but some syntax is not 2.4 compatible. + - how the bug has been addressed: The EC2Init class had python 2.5+ syntax ['class EC2Init:()']. This was replaced with python2.4 compatible syntax by removing the '()'. + - patch is available at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smoser/ubuntu/karmic/ec2-init/karmic-updates/revision/38 + - regression pottential: + There was no other dependency on python2.5+, other than the syntax listed above. As such, with the fix, the byte compile succeeds.
