[newbie] Python Dependency Hell
I tried to build a package from source (since I could not find an rpms for pypanel) and it said I needed python-Xlib. Mandrake doesn't have a python-Xlib package but I found one online. $ urpmi python-Xlib-0.12-2.noarch.rpm Some package requested cannot be installed: python-Xlib-0.12-2.noarch (due to unsatisfied python-modules[ 1:2.4]) How or where do I get python-modules? and what does [ 1:2.4] mean?! -- Job Evers Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
