When using update-alternatives, the link created from /usr/bin/python to /etc/alternatives/python isn't acceptable by pycentral. We need to recursively follow the links until we get to e.g. /usr/bin/python2.4 .
Ideally however we wouldn't rely on the the filename of the target and should perhaps parse the output of /usr/bin/python -v, or even parse sys.version? A patch is attached for the first case, dealing with recursion, and should be applied against /usr/share/pycentral-data/pyversions.py. ** Attachment added: "Apply to /usr/share/pycentral-data/pyversions.py to add recursion" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7038302/pyversions.py.patch -- 0.1.9 fails to install on feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/96897 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
