Bad dependencies of bittornado-gui

[Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini]

Binary package hint: bittornado-gui

When you install bittornado-gui* in Intrepid*. The command btmaketorrentgui doesn't work giving the following error:

wxPython is either not installed or has not been installed properly.

It's necessary to install python-wxgtk2.8 to get the app to run. I think the solution is to only add that package as a dependency of bittornado-gui (sorry, I don't know how to do that u_u)

* 0.3.18-6
**Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

bittornado-gui depends on "python-wxgtk2.6 or python-wxgtk2.8", which
probably caused python-wxgtk2.6 to be installed. It should work with
either one though (it does on my Debian machine anyway), so the
dependencies are not the problem. Could you please uninstall
python-wxgtk2.8 and try this command from the terminal:

python -c 'import wx'

If that generates an error (it should), let me know what it says and
then try this command:

python -c 'import wxversion ; print wxversion.getInstalled()'

You can then reinstall python-wxgtk2.8 and try the commands again to
see what the difference is.

Thanks,
Cameron

Indeed. When I installed bittorrent-gui it asks me for python-wxgtk2.6

~$ python -c 'import wx'

~$ python -c 'import wx'
(shows no errors)
~$ python -c 'import wxversion ; print wxversion.getInstalled()'
['2.8-gtk2-unicode', '2.6-gtk2-unicode']

Reassigned to wxwidgets2.6 as it is not a bittornado problem.

You're right... I should've think the bug was in wx... well in the
next one I'll search better.
