I expect you don't have it installed. In that case, python-central complains rightly. IMO the bug is no more in python-central but in python-iconvcodec ... which should be removed or fixed to state that it provides something useful only for python2.3 (and thus depend on it instead of depending on python (>= 2.3)). Note that while I understand this rationale, I'm not sure that this python-central behaviour is the smartest possible. The bug concerning python-iconvcodec is #398899. I'm bumping the severity of the bug to serious to get it out of testing in the current state at least. > > When installing which package on which distribution with which version of > > python-minimal ? > > python-iconvcodec, obviously. Well given that the bug is reported against python-central, it's not so obvious. :) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/
