Sorry, I'm unable to reproduce this problem - it works fine on squeeze (and Ubuntu intrepid which I had to hand). I don't really see what could be going wrong either - /usr/lib/python2.4 should be a directory, and appears to be in both packages. What version of python-profiler do you have installed? This command will tell you: dpkg -s python-xapian|grep ^Version Perhaps it is worth checking that /usr/lib/python2.4 is actually a directory on your file system (but if it has somehow got replaced by a file, I'd imagine you'd have seen other consequences): ls -ld /usr/lib/python2.4 Cheers, Olly -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
