Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-12129:
--------------------------------------------
Just a little further help - the dependencies for python-support are minimal.
{{apt-get install}} those deps, if needed. Here's where you can grab the
latest Ubuntu release of python-support, if you need to install an older
version of Cassandra on Ubuntu 16.04:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/python-support
> deb Packages cannot be installed under Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) due to missing
> dependency
