Comment 4 for bug 346931

Gaël, my patch is more of a band-aid -- since we're past the feature freeze for Jaunty, I don't think any more can easily be done.

For upstream, I think the real problem is that the distutils build command gets called twice by the Debian build system. First, it does "python setup.py build" and the tvtk zip file is built. Then, during a second run, "python setup.py install" (distutils install command calls build again), the zip file is there and the bug is triggered. Thus, my patch simply lets build start again during the install step, but this is actually curing only a symptom, not the cause.

That said, a band-aid in upstream is better than a complete failure!
