No, that's not correct. This is part of the way Python is handled in
Debian. If you look at the files the jack package ships with
dpkg -L jack
you'll see that it puts its modules in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
So you really do need python2.3 to run jack.
python2.3's currently the default version of Python in Debian. When
we change to 2.4, this'll move to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
However, having python 2.4 installed shouldn't stop you from using
jack since /usr/bin/python should point to 2.3. Look here:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2005-09-22 12:22 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 962860 2005-11-20 15:57 /usr/bin/python2.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1026988 2005-11-20 16:16 /usr/bin/python2.4
You're not by any chance running Ubuntu, which uses Python 2.4 as its
default?
