Hi there! I subscribed to this list, cause my friend Martin 'Joey' Schulze adviced me to do so and tell you about the matter I spotted...
The problem is not really a debian problem, cause the packages work well and no dependencies are broken - but the actual Ubuntu Gutsy release just claims Debian unstable (or etch?) to be used for their needs - which is _not_ a good idea: their repository dependencies delivers python-wxgtk2.8 with it, which does not work with the package spe in version 0.8.2a+repack-1 at all ;-) I first solved the problem by editing this startupscript: $editor /usr/share/pycentral/spe/site-packages/_spe/SPE.py find: wxversion.ensureMinimal(WX_VERSION) and replace by: wxversion.select(['2.6']) which is given as a dependency (by _your_ maintainer I'd suppose): Depends: python, python-central (>= 0.5.6ubuntu2), *python-wxgtk2.6*, python-wxglade, kiki Thanks, for anybody who wrote this hint in here ;-) This solution is not really state of the art, so I checked out the svn version here: svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/python/spe/trunk/_spe tested it running: python SPE.py and it runs well, using the wxgtk2.8... You may have a look at the complete repository here: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/python/spe/trunk/_spe/ Joey said it is strongly adviced to upgrade the package, but it's actally orphaned and nobody seems to feel responsible for. Please keep in mind, that the debian-packages are not shipped with broken packages - but you debians always fix such things faster than the Ubuntus - I bet they just pick the new packages out the etch or unstable repository, which seem to be the same for me. Maybe you'll update to python-wxgtk2.8 and create a new package for spe out of the svn as well to show the ubuntu-guys how those package-update-things should be done perfecly... Kind regards from Germany, I appreciate your work very much! Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
