Description Sammy 2004-11-08 10:44:04 EST

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:

Comment 1 David Fraser 2004-12-20 07:35:47 EST

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)

Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2006-11-04 17:15:00 EST

Is this still an issue?  RPM now adds an automatic dependency on python-abi [1].

Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-02 13:12:07 EST

Closing as NOTABUG due to lack of response and the fact that packages no longer
need to explicitly require python-abi.
