On command line:

ImportError: No module named ltihooks

I could not reproduce this in Edgy. Is this in Dapper?

Hm, this was some confusion about packages it seems.

I had a version of istanbul in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages, which was loaded and used instead the version from /usr/share/python-support. I'm not sure, wether this was an error of the packages or me, because i had a manually installed version of istanbul once.

After apt-get remove and install again, istanbul starts as expected.

Probably my own fault, so this bug can be closed.

Thanks for trying to reproduce it. :)

Hi,

I got exactly the same problem after upgrading from dapper to edgy including the duplicate installation as reported above (one version in /usr/share/python-support and the other one in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages.

I did the same steps to troubleshoot but had to manually remove the folder "istanbul" in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages in order to get it working.

Since I did a repository install of istanbul in dapper before (not a manual one as reported above), I think that the upgrade to edgy does not fully remove the old package. Probably worth checking...

I can duplicate it. I had istanbul installed once on dapper, uninstaled it and installed it once again on edgy. Then it wouldn't start with the mentioned error. Removing /usr/lib/python.2.4/site-packages/istanbul fixes it.
I guess that just deleting this directory in postinst will be fine.
