Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch In /usr/share/doc/python2.5/README.Debian,
""" distutils can be found in the python2.5-dev package. Development files like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the python2.5-dev package in /usr/lib/python2.5/config. """ should be changed to something like """ distutils can be found in the python2.5 package. Development files like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the python2.5-dev package in /usr/lib/python2.5/config. Therefore, if you need to install a pure python extension, you only need python2.5. On the other hand, to install a C extension, you need python2.5-dev """ I am reporting this against the python2.5 package, but the README.Debian file should be fixed in python2.3 and python2.4 too, since the change occured a long time ago (nov 2004, from the changelog) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages python2.5 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.5-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.3.8-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-3 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.37-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.5-minimal 2.5-3 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
