Bug#607988: Confirmation

Help Create a new topic

Just wanted to confirm that I have seen this on both my systems where I've
upgraded to the Squeeze version of the python package. Most of the dangling
symlinks were in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/reportlab, but I believe
there were a few others that had to be removed from /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages.

The package(s) that created the symlinks should be responsible for removing
them, but I think the patch provided by Mr. Dreimann (or something similar)
should be applied to prevent the package upgrade failures. (Any dpkg error is
rather intimidating to new users.)

packages.



Yet another me too in one of my boxes, this time with with
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/reportlab/tools/__init__.py'. I only
found this behavior in this box.

Force purging python-reportlab left some files behind in reportlab
dir, including some .pyc. Later removing
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/reportlab' dir and installing again
python-reportlab seems to make the problem vanish.

Cheers,

Agustin
