Public bug reported:
I have Ubuntu Lucid with the deadsnakes PPA added for Python 2.7, 3.2,
and 2.5. I've since found that I need a profiler on my host, so I
attempted to install it with "aptitude install python-profiler" but got
this error:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information

The following NEW packages will be installed:

In my opinion, python-profiler_2.6.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb should not try to write
to /usr/lib/python2.5.
python-profiler should include the profiler modules for those versions
of Python supported by Ubuntu or even better should have Python-specific
versions with an alias for the default Python version that ships with
Ubuntu.
