This breaks installation of applications like Mercurial that supply --prefix=/usr/local when installing. This has worked with previous versions of Debian and Ubuntu, and it works with most other distributions I'm aware of. It does this specifically not to interfere with distribution-provided packages.
Given that installing other binaries, resources, etc. to their /usr/local equivalents isn't an issue, I don't see why it should be for Python, using the canonical method of doing so with distutils. -- setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local installs modules in site-packages/ directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
