Bug Description

Binary package hint: unsermake

The unsermake build util depends on python 2.4 but feisty ships with python2.5 by default. Since the unsermake package does not list the dependency python2.4 will not be installed and unsermake fails to start:

$ unsermake
/usr/bin/unsermake: line 11: exec: python2.4: not found

Installing python2.4 solves the problem

I don't know if unsermake would actually work with python2.5, i think so, but to do this a lot of paths need to be changed (most of unsermake is installed to /usr/lib/python2.4).

Confirmed: Python 2.4 is hardcoded into the postinst script. I'll take a look at it.

Does this package work as expected in Ubuntu gutsy 7.10?

This package does not exist in any of the latest versions (hardy 8.04, intrepid 8.10, jaunty 9.04).

There's also a note about the package:
This package is for KDE 3.4 or newer.
