rst2latex do not work anymore

Binary package hint: python-docutils

In Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) python-docutils worked just fine, but after upgrading to 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) it does this:

% rst2latex --language=fi --report=5 --strip-comments --stylesheet=RST --graphicx-option=pdftex --font-encoding=LUC,T1 RW-numerointi_ja_kierratys.txt RW-numerointi_ja_kierratys.tex

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/X11/rst2latex", line 17, in <module>
    from docutils.core import publish_cmdline, default_description
ImportError: No module named docutils.core

% rst2html --language=en --report=5 --toc-entry-backlinks --footnote-backlinks --section-numbering --strip-comments RW-numerointi_ja_kierratys.txt RW-numerointi_ja_kierratys.tex
Traceback (most recent call last):

Maybe this helps, when debugging this:

If I give this command:

locate docutils | sort | less

It shows gazillion lines that say: ”/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/docutils"

But if I gives this command (in zsh):

% whence -savc python

It says:/usr/bin/X11/python -> /usr/bin/python2.6
/usr/X11R6/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.6
/usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.6

Maybe it should depend on python2.5 instead of plain python?

Aha! I edited shebang-lines of rst2latex and rst2html so that they point directly to /usr/bin/python2.5 and now problems are away.
