That's how woody works now, and the binaries are called python and python2. Note that they are not managed by the alternatives mechanism -- Joey Hess explained the bad experience perl had with that. I think it's thought of as a temporary issue, and the long-term solution would be to move to Python 2.1. Not sure what all the packages who install in /usr/lib/python1.5 are going to do about it. I'm prepared to adopt htmlgen and python-imaging to convert them if it's needed. -- Moshe Zadka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is a signature anti-virus. Please stop the spread of signature viruses!
