I've been trying to be sure that everything will work with python2.6, so I figured out how to modify the package to require python2.6 instead on python2.5. Then I got this error:
j...@ubuntu-karmic:~$ sudo dpkg -i gramps_3.1.2-1_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package gramps. (Reading database ... 110906 files and directories currently installed.)

Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for gnome-icon-theme ... Errors were encountered while processing: gramps I'm learning all this as I go along, but I see postinst failed in pycentral, and I can see the offending code in pycentral: if byte_compile_default: if self.private_files: self.default_runtime.byte_compile(self.private_files, bc_option, exclude_regex, ignore_errors) That tells me that self.default_runtime is null, but I've changed PythonVersion in the control file to 2.6. I found a file called /usr/share/pycentral-data/pyversions.py that says supported_versions includes only python2.4 and 2.5. So now, I don't know if this is a bug in pycentral (doubt it) or whether there is a replacement for pycentral with python2.6 (more likely) or whether this is related in some way to bug #353251 I don't know if pycentral is part of Python or what it is, so I can't proceed any further for now. -- gramps 3.1.2 in Karmic should allow python2.5 or python2.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431059 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
