After some further investigation I can conclude that this is the same bug for both pyqwt.
The reason for the bug is that upstream (debian) at least was using python 2.5 as a standard. So this is not a bug upstream. I do not know what their running as default in unstable at the moment. In the case of pyqwt the problem is that python 2.6 is not supported. So the package need to change name to python2.5-qwt4 or something like that. I do have a patch this package that I can post later. Regarding pyqwt5 it should support python 2.6. At least according på upstream (pyqwt). So in that case It seems to be enough to create a separate package for python2.5 and one python. At least that seems to work when I tried this. Both those fixes included doing very bad stuff with the sip code on order to get sip to preprocess it. pyqwt themselves says that sip 4.7.x should work with both releases so I'm not sure I'm looking in correct place. What I find really strange is that both those packages could have been caught by automatic builds and installs tests on the ubuntu side. Both packages should have been excluded from the distribution or fixed for that matter. A note about the following patch. The patch renames python-qwt4 to python2.5-qwt4 and instead provides python-qwt4. That since the only need I seem to have for package is to resolve dependencies. I also uncommented a huge chunck of code reagarding QwkMemArray. I still don't know what effect of that is. But at least it compiles =) ** Attachment added: "Patch for pyqwt-4.2.3.dfsg source package to make work in jaunty." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26139863/pyqwt-4.2.3.tat.patch.gz -- python-qwt5-qt4 will not install on Jaunty alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342782 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
