Bug Description
Binary package hint: bittorrent
The Edgy bittorrent package seems to break when the /usr/bin/python symlink is set to python2.5. For example:
user@host:$ btdownloadcurses
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
from BitTorrent.download import download
ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.download
When choosing to load gnome-btdownload (e.g. with 'Open' from Nautilus), nothing happens and no error message is seen.
Changing the magic lines of the bittorrent scripts like btdownloadcurses in the /usr/bin/ directory from
#!/usr/bin/python
to
#!/usr/
seems to work around the problem. Is this something to consider for Edgy until a proper bittorrent package is made for python 2.5?
