[Bug 790538] Re: pam update causes cron to stop working with Module is unknown error

2011-05-31 Thread Vijay Krishna Ramesh
Colin, that seems like a horrible solution - you now have everybody's apt claiming they need to get a package that 404s, causing apt-get upgrade to fail. I understand a buggy package was released, but once that has been done, you can't just remove the package itself (while leaving reference to it

Copying a response from the Debian mailing list linked above that includes an email from James Roskind, the original author. The basic problem is that the profiler module restricts copying altering the code to work done in python or for a python module - as such, it is too restrictive to fit

Wow. Ok, if you read my previous posts from a few weeks ago and today, I am having the *same* issue as described in the bug. I didn't think it was necessary to re-state what the bug itself states. And really, how many people who have a Launchpad account don't do basic things like check if this is

Ok, so I'm a complete jackass. Had a copy of pidgin installed from source (I guess from before the Ubuntu repos had the latest version?), and another copy installed from backports atop that. Finally realized something was up when I apt-get remove'd everything slightly related to pidgin and yet I

strangely, I'm running Hardy and have upgraded (via apt-get I'm assuming, don't ever recall installing any other version of pidgin) to a higher version than is currently available on the http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/pidgin page. I downloaded the version from the page (thinking for whatever

ahhh nevermind, i've got the latest version from hardy backports, and it seems that this fix has not propagated to there? is there any way other than downgrading pidgin that I can get an updated version of libpurple that will allow me to connect to icq? -- Cannot connect to ICQ (The client

thanks for the tip. kept running into this issue trying to ugprade from dapper hardy - it bombed out the update-manager and kept causing dpkg --configure -a to eventually fail due to too many errors. simple adding of a line to /etc/python/debian_config fixed it! now, why it doesn't automatically
