python2.4-yappy depends of a non-existing file

[Ricardo Pérez López]

python2.4-yappy needs the file pcre.so

python2.4-yappy needs the file pcre.so. This file exists in python2.3, but isn't exists in python2.4.

A workaround follows here:

# sed -i -e 's/pcre/sre/g' /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yappy/parser.py
# apt-get install python-profiler
# python /usr/share/doc/python2.4/examples/Tools/compiler/compile.py parser.py
# python -O /usr/share/doc/python2.4/examples/Tools/compiler/compile.py parser.py

(The module pcre could be substituted by sre module)

Maybe you would like to tell the problem to the upstream developers.

Thanks a lot.
