Debhelper affects the _building_ of packages, not the installation. If you want to use precompiled packages you'd need to have a package called 'python' with version 2.3. This is not the same as having python2.3
The python package depends on the default version of python. You'd either need to grab the 'python' package from unstable (shouldn't be hard since it has almost no dependencies except Python2.3 itself) Aubin On Wed, Oct 15, 2003 at 06:14:47PM +0300, Juha wrote: > Could you please elaborate?
