Hi Vincent,
The balazar3 package currently calls python2.5 from debian/rules for setup,
not python. This is wrong in a number of ways:
- the package build-depends on python-dev, not on python2.5-dev; python-dev
is not guaranteed to depend on python2.5, so this command will fail when
the default python version changes in Debian.
- the package furthermore has a runtime dependency on python2.5 and
python-cerealizer. python-cerealizer is *not* guaranteed to provide
the cerealizer module for python2.5, only for the *current* python
version; so balazar3-common *as installed on users' systems* will be
broken as soon as python migrates to 2.6 by default (which should happen
before the squeeze release).
The below patch from Ubuntu corrects this issue. I recommend applying it to
the Debian package, as this will become a serious bug once pythonswitches to
2.6 in Debian.
