I used libdb4.5-dev since that is what python2.5 uses in lenny. > If you want to make it more official, please step in and tell me what > your changes are. ;) I recently did a python2.6 backport and I also had to do these: Version the python-sphinx build-dep to use the version in lenny-backports. Install the version of python-central from squeeze. The software I wanted to run under python2.6 needed some C-based modules so I had to install the versions of those from testing since I was too lazy to rebuild them all. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
