Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/texworks-0.5~svn862

[Stefan Löffler (st.loeffler)]

Both the upstream and Debian versions are set up to build with Python 2.6 (which didn't properly seem to register with pkg-config, hence the version was hard-coded).

The attached patch works around this by replacing 2.6 by 2.7 for oneiric.

Alternatively, binaries are available in the ppas at https://launchpad.net/~texworks.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Both of these are output fine by the pkg-config file in python-dev, this should be used instead of hardcoding the paths/libs.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package texworks - 0.5~svn862-1ubuntu1

---------------
texworks (0.5~svn862-1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Fix FTBFS by using pkg-config to find python path/version (LP: #831113)
    - update plugins-src/TWPythonPlugin/TWPythonPlugin.pro
