This is reproducible for me,

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Hmm, I'm not quite sure what did it, but reinstalling python2.4, python2.5 and bzrtools in that order (with apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>) made bzrtools install cleanly. I was still seeing this bug after reinstalling python2.5, but all was well again after doing bzrtools.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

It appears like there was the following line in debian/install activates:
#tests/*.py usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/

bzrtools installation failed because of it and in the current packages state it tries to get configured only, but the error will stay the same: as long as you haven't installed python2.4, it fails.

The workaround for me was to purge bzrtools (and the rdepend bzr-builddeb) and then reinstall it.

Thanks for that...The purge worked for me as well.
