Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-pyx

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

2) $ apt-cache policy python-pyx
python-pyx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
     0.9-4ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages

3) I expected python-pyx to be installed without any problems and with minimal dependencies

4) I tried to install python-pyx, and aptitude said the package was broken and tried to install ~250Mb of localization packages (which I think are unnecessary). Here's the output:

$ sudo aptitude install python-pyx

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I'm curious if all those texlive packages are related to the broken package. I did not accept this solution, then installed a different package (gnucash), and it did not attempt to install the texlive packages.

This bug was fixed in the package pyx - 0.9-4ubuntu2

---------------
pyx (0.9-4ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Python 2.6 transition (LP: #339730):
    - Adjust dh_pycentral.
    - Install python stuffs into the right places.
  * Makefile:
    - Use mkhowto provided by python2.5 because it has been removed from
      python2.6.
