Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdesklets
After installing gdesklets on a fresh 9.04 beta install, it doesn't run.
Trying to run it from a console (for stdout), I get a "bad interpreter python2.5" message
The easy solution is to install python2.5 minimal.
The real fix is to make gdesklets depend on 2.6 (which is installed by default) or on 2.5, since right now it is broken - adding gdesklets results in a non running gdesklets (because it relies on a missing python2.5 binary)
Reproduce:
install ubuntu 9.04 beta
apt-get install gdesklets (I actually did this from the add/remove Applications menu)
Workaround:
apt-get install python2.5

Dependencies state :
python (<2.7)
python (>=2.6)
First line in /usr/bin/gdesklets : bin/python2. 5
#!/usr/
I tried creating a symlink to python2.6 as python2.5, but gdesklets didn't run. Installing python2.5 fixed it.
