Thanks for pursuing this, Paul. You have me curious now.
Let's take a definite example: I have a convenient
Ubuntu 8.04.1
The content of /etc/apt/sources.list is
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted
I do
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install python2.5
then
# python2.5
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Dec 11 2006, 21:09:56)
[GCC 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
It doesn't seem likely to me that this is the Python 2.5 packaged in
Ubuntu 8.04. It's build timestamp is almost a year and a half before
8.04 was released. Here's the header on my installation:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
This could be a bug in the upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu
installed on the host or perhaps you have a different Python 2.5 installed
on the machine that's not from the Ubuntu package repository?
