2008-11-26 21:49:48 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort wxwidgets2.8: statusexplanation Hi Trevor, and thanks for your report. I've tried to reproduce this but I can't. The right symlink is actually from /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/wx.pth to /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth (the python2.5 one). Then, /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth should point to /etc/alternatives/wx.pth, which will point to /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.?.pth Can you check where /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth points to in your system? Is this an upgrade from a previous Ubuntu release, or did you install it from scratch? Have you ever installed wxwidgets deb packages from wxwidgets.org?

2008-11-27 18:16:47 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort wxwidgets2.8: statusexplanation Trevor, thanks for the detailed explanation. I've now seen that the problem is in python-wxgtk2.4. It sets the wx.pth alternatives in a different way. While python-wxgtk2.4 and 2.6 use it to point /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth to wx2.?.pth, python-wxgtk2.4 does a totally different thing and uses it to link /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx.pth to /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.?.pth, breaking it. This likely affects Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty, and perhaps even Gutsy and Dapper. But I think if we fix it, we should do it just in Hardy and beyond. And there's just one package remaining to be transitioned to wxwidgets2.6 before we can remove wxwindows2.4 from the archive https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/wx2.4Migration
