python2.4-pylib (0.7.20050829-0ubuntu1) can't be installed

[Stefan Reichör]

When I install python2.4-pylib I get the following error:

Setting up python2.4-pylib (0.7.20050829-0ubuntu1) ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py/test/testing/data/syntax_error.py ...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py/test/testing/data/syntax_error.py", line 3
    this is really not python
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

dpkg: error processing python2.4-pylib (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-pylib:
 python-pylib depends on python2.4-pylib; however:
  Package python2.4-pylib is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing python-pylib (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

The problem is, that syntax_error.py can't be compiled.
So one solution would be to skip the compilation of this
file during installation

This package was renamed to python-codespeak-lib, and the new one is fixed.
