IMO displayed messages should be clear without having to resort to a debugging mode. Debugging mode should only be for removing bugs, not for enlightenment of the user. Anyway, apt-getting spe now... which doesn't work: Unpacking python-wxversion (from .../python-wxversion_2.6.1.1.1ubuntu2_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-wxversion_2.6.1.1.1ubuntu2 _all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wxversion.py', which is also in package wxpython2.5.3 If it's so hard to get the requirements installed, I'd rather stick to Vim. > I adapted SPE such that it can ran out of the box of an archive (zip > or tar.gz).

Ehm... I think I've clearly shown that, at least as far as the Ubuntu packages go, not all requirements are always there on an Ubuntu system. > If it doesn't work, let me know privately. Why?

Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
