Package:python-pisa When I installed and ran xhtml2pdf I get an error message about pkg_resources. I show the error here by deleting the package, python-pkg-resources, and
re-running the formerly successfully completed task. This seems to be another instance of a similar problem in other packages, e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544561 $xhtml2pdf template.html junk.pdf <<< Successfully executes Converting template.html to /home/pogson/RSL/reportgen/template/junk.pdf... pog...@tc-amd64-3:~/RSL/reportgen/template$ su Password: r...@tc-amd64-3:/home/pogson/RSL/reportgen/template# apt-get --remove python-pkg-resources E: Invalid operation python-pkg-resources r...@tc-amd64-3:/home/pogson/RSL/reportgen/template# apt-get remove python-pkg-resources Reading package lists...
