Bug Description

Binary package hint: debconf

[Initially Question #6755, asked on 2007-05-17 by Kevin Cole: Bug? python2.3?]

I have debconf-1.5.13ubuntu1.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, or simply a question.

I've been cleaning my Feisty box of old cruft, and find that there is only one file in /usr/lib/python2.3:

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/debconf.py

With that file gone, the whole python2.3 directory tree can disappear.

Is the debconf.py file in that tree still necessary, considering that the package also installs it to the python2.4 and python2.5 trees?

It's not worth diverging from Debian to remove it. Once Debian stops supporting python2.3, it can go away.

That's fixed since Hardy:

debconf (1.5.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Drop python 2.3. Closes: #447864
