From what I'm understanding from the link:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php?phpLang=en#python-mods
that Alexander sent your supposed to rebuild the offending package.
Based on the output quoted on the website that offending package was
plain python24 (python24-2.4.1-1) but I get the error on libxml2-py24
Actually I think the example in the FAQ is from building the package
"python24-socket-ssl", not plain python24 (*), but this is not said
there. I see now that you can read the phrase
"The fix is to rebuild the offending 'python' package, e.g. 'fink
rebuild python24' for the case above."
in the way you did. This should be rephrased to make sure the sense is
unambiguous. What is meant (and could be concluded from the explanation
above that phrase): Rebuild the corresponding plain python2* package.
It is explained that the problem appears if your python2* package was
built on 10.3 and you try to build modules for it on 10.4.
The real bug here is that the python packages on 10.3 and 10.4 have the
same revision number. Since the one from 10.3 does not work correctly on
10.4, the one on 10.4 should have a higher revision number, so that a
rebuild is forced.
(*) You probably think that the example is from building plain python24
because of the output line
File
"/sw/src/root-python24-2.4.1-1/sw/lib/python2.4/distutils/core.py", line
166, in setup
which shows the install-root directory from the building of python2.4.
In reality this is another (probably inoffensive) bug in the python2.4
package: This line comes from the precompiled script
/sw/lib/python2.4/distutils/core.pyc which has this build-install-root
name hardcoded instead of its correct name
/sw/lib/python2.4/distutils/core.py. This can be fixed by replacing
"make install prefix=%i" in the installscript by "make install prefix=%p
DESTDIR=%d", but as the python24 package has a nontrivial install
script, any fix would have to be tested first, so I'll leave this to the
maintainer (CCed).
