Bug Description

Binary package hint: duplicity

python is to be upgraded to version 2.6.1

duplicity still requires python <2.6

Thus if one upgrades python (or e.g. gimp which requires python >=2.6) then duplicity will be removed.

That can change to <=2.6 safely. I've tested duplicity against 2.6 and it works.

Need to add <=2.6 to setup.py so no one attempts to run under 3.x.

I have problems building the new package, although I have not changed the source (it depends on python-dev, which is 2.6 now in Jaunty).

I'm attaching the build log, where I've tried to also pass "--exec-prefix" to setup.py, but the result's the same:
1. the build fails, when it tries to fix tarfile.py:
from build.log:
chmod 755 debian/duplicity/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/duplicity/tarfile.py
chmod: cannot access `debian/duplicity/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/duplicity/tarfile.py': No such file ordirectory

2. even when I remove this line, the build succeeds, but duplicity is installed in /usr/local/bin/ then.

Very strange - I hope somebody can help me out with this.
