The fix for this issue (Python 2.6 compatibility) has been committed and will be included in the upcoming 0.6.0 release.

Same issue with 9.10.

I did an ugly fix :

1) Install python 2.5, you might do :
sudo apt-get install python-all

2) Edit the first line of /usr/bin/flumotion-manager
Replace : #!/usr/bin/python
With : #!/usr/bin/python2.5

3) Edit the first line of /usr/bin/flumotion-worker
Replace : #!/usr/bin/python
With : #!/usr/bin/python2.5

This will be fixed in 0.6.1-1 in lucid which is about to be uploaded.

Just installed Flumotion on Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm getting this error:

Just installed using https://launchpad.net/~arkadini/+archive/flumotion. The install works and the app runs. I have not tested the functionality, just that it gets up and running.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

@Kerry: which version did you install from 9.10?

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

@Kerry: just noticed that flumotion failed to build on amd64; was just a transient build failure, given back now. If you were running amd64, please try again when version >= 0.6 is available. (I thought I would get a failed to build mail in this case, but apparently you don't get any when the package is copied from Debian.)

here is the patch that should fix it:
