From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux; X11; en_US) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: Although I did not update python to version 2.4 pygtk2 (and pyorbit) install without a conflict and installed stuff into /usr/lib/python2.4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pygtk2-2.4.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update pygtk2 and pyorbit without updating python 2. look were things are installed 3. Additional info:
pygtk2-2.4.1-2 lists python2 >= 2.3 as requirement, but installs into /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages So it should rather have listed python2 >= 2.4 as requirement. (otherwise package managers like apt will automatically upgrade it without realising that it won't work without python2.4)
Is this still an issue? RPM now adds an automatic dependency on python-abi [1]. [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python
Closing as NOTABUG due to lack of response and the fact that packages no longer need to explicitly require python-abi.
