2007-05-08 12:04:48 Scott Kitterman kubuntu-meta: status Unconfirmed Rejected
2007-05-08 12:04:48 Scott Kitterman kubuntu-meta: statusexplanation First, upgrades from Dapper direct to Feisty are not supported. Second, if you installed your own Python 2.5 outside the packaging system there are now two installed, also not a configuration we can support. So this is not an Ubuntu bug (thus marked rejected). I believe your analysis is correct about some programs using the local version of Python. What I would suggest you do is remove that version of Python and see if that solves your problem. Since things work with /usr/local is not mounted, then I think removing the Python version there is likely to succeed. If it doesn't, then I'd suggest opening a support request in the Answers section of LP and see if someone there has suggestions.

There were a lot of Python changes Dapper --> Edgy --> Feisty to support the new Python policy. If you fire up Python with usr/local mounted and do: import sys print sys.path What do you get? I'm not sure about the right package for this, but python defaults seems like a step in the right direction. This is unlikely to be something KDE/Kubuntu specific.

2007-05-21 12:26:00 Scott Kitterman python-defaults: statusexplanation Done (rejected) and good luck. OK. I've marked this back to unconfirmed then. I've got no say in Python policy in Ubuntu, but I'd guess we are going to tend to follow Debian on this. Please file a bug in Debian BTS and then link this bug to the Debian one (or comment with the Bug number and I'll do it if you don't know how).

No, it's Debian policy to include this path.
