Bug Description
Binary package hint: mayavi
I'm on Feisty i386, updated. I just tried to install mayavi 1.5-4. The postinstall explicitly calls /usr/bin/python2.4, which is not installed and on which the package does not formally depend. The postinstall should not call python2.4, but rather just python. It can run python --version to check whether the version number is sufficiently high. Errors follow my signature, but this one's pretty trivial.

This bug was fixed in the package mayavi - 1.5-4ubuntu1
---------------
mayavi (1.5-4ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
* Drop debian/ mayavi. postinst; python-support already handles all the rField
required python setup, and the remaining hand-written postinst breaks with
python 2.5. LP: #160045.
* Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintaine
specification.
