I just tried to reproduce the bug in a clean install of 12.10 on a different machine and was not able to.
I installed with: $ apt-get install python-tables and then tables imported fine. So I must have some issue associated with my machine which has a long history of installing/uninstalling pytables. Maybe I just have something corrupted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071918 Title: python-tables depends on missing dependency: libhdf5.so.6 in quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pytables/+bug/1071918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
