Hi (James?), to help confirm that GRAMPS works with Python 2.6, I installed
GRAMPS on Karmic Alpha 6 by first installing all the pre-reqs except
python2.5, then I downloaded the package from packages.ubuntu.com, then:
sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=python2.5 -i gramps_3.1.2-1_all.deb
Shown below is the output of the dpkg command, you'll know better than I
what it all means, but GRAMPS is installed (it shows as broken because of
the missing pre-req) and it works.
I hope I am being helpful, and always try to extend my gratitude for the
entire Debian/Ubuntu community.
Jeff
