Bug Description

This package should install BeautifulSoup into /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BeautifulSoup.py . Instead it puts the .py file at /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BeautifulSoup.py . This makes the package unusable. See transcript of various shell commands:

---

# apt-get install python-beautifulsoup
(...)
paulproteus@baroque:~$ python
Python 2.4.2c1 (#2, Sep 24 2005, 01:49:14)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import BeautifulSoup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

---

paulproteus@baroque:~$ dpkg -L python-beautifulsoup | grep py$
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BeautifulSoup.py
