I just tripped across this in Ibex with trac-git 0.0.20080710-1. There was an (unintended for release?) change of the python package name, so what has been (still is as far as I konw) called "tracext.git" in upstream was renamed "gitplugin". You might try that, though if I understand his change notes the maintainer reverted that in [Debian's) -2 release, and another bug was fixed in -3. So if Jaunty is based on the last of those, it shouldn't have the renaming, I think.

Oh, and Ibex is totally stone broken with the -1 package. See Debian #498761 for some about that, as well as the clue about the renaming. But I think the actual cause of the problem might be the one described in the last paragraph below.

Or you could just install a distro that supports these packages. This report is the last of the effort I'm going to spend trying to get Trac running on Ubuntu - much easier to run it on one of the Debian-based servers instead of fighting an uphill battle. And some people can't understand why I don't want to use Ubuntu on my servers...

Oh, another glitch in the Debian -3 docs: putting the tracext.git.*=enabled into /etc/trac.ini doesn't do squat for me. /etc/trac/trac.ini neither. Presumably there's *some* place in the filesystem it *does* look for global settings. But that will be a bug for Debian's tracker, where I have hopes it might do some good. And at this point it seems to be working fine on the Lenny box, so on to productive uses of my time.
