Comment 10 for bug 408663

I was the one who has backported the 5.11 karmic package to jaunty back then. Now being with one box on a kubuntu karmic beta gives me quite a headache as well.

I'm getting the same results, both when I'm installing the distribution provided binary package as well as when I'm using the dpkg-buildpackage method on the karmic sources myself. The build and install works flawlessly, but when executing a sample shows some trouble, which is different from the symptoms mentioned above:

guy@mountpaku:/usr/share/doc/python-visual/examples$ python orbit.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "orbit.py", line 1, in <module>
    from visual import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/visual/__init__.py", line 59, in <module>
    import cvisual
AttributeError: 'Boost.Python.StaticProperty' object attribute '__doc__' is read-only

Any clues? Has maybe the boost version changed in an incompatible way, or are some dependencies not listed in the source package, which just happened to be satisfied on my old Jaunty backport due to other pre-conditions of my system?
