[shaddowfall]

Binary package hint: nullmailer

Failed to execute child process "gdesklets" (No such file or directory)

ProblemType: Package
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Package: nullmailer 1:1.04-1.1
SourcePackage: nullmailer
Title: package nullmailer 1:1.04-1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

this is happening to with an amd64 architecture

From Terminal

~$ gdesklets
bash: /usr/bin/gdesklets: /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
i
Seems /usr/bin/gdesklets is calling #!/usr/bin/python2.5

Which is no longer the version of Python, on my systems.

/usr/bin$ ls -l python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-05-05 17:10 python -> python2.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2579968 2009-04-18 22:52 python2.6

Just changing 'gdesklets' to call 'python' dosent fix it either.
There must be some other issues going on as well.

Seems one needs to install the python 2.5 packages. (im sorry i dont have the exact names of what i just installed) to get gdesklets working. So this seems to be a 'missing dependency problem'.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I switched to Fedora.
