Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mayavi
I'm on Feisty i386, updated. I just tried to install mayavi 1.5-4. The
postinstall explicitly calls /usr/bin/python2.4, which is not installed
and on which the package does not formally depend. The postinstall
should not call python2.4, but rather just python. It can run python
--version to check whether the version number is sufficiently high.
Errors follow my signature, but this one's pretty trivial.
