Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-tz

When trying to install python-matplotlib I noticed that it wanted to install Python2.4 when Python2.5 was already installed.

Going through it's dependencies I believe that python-tz is the culprit.

Looking at it's dependencies in Synaptic it says...

Depends: tzdata
Depends: python2.5
Depends: python2.4
Depends: python
Depends: python-central (>=0.5.8)
Conflicts: python2.3-tz
Conflicts: python2.4-tz
Replaces: python2.3-tz
Replaces: python2.4-tz

Where you probably just want it to require any version of Python.

I'm using 7.10 on x86_64 with all updates applied etc.

yes, the package depends on both python-2.4 and python-2.5, even in hardy.. Should be easy to fix. nominating for hardy.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python-tz clearly shows the dependencies. I forgot to include that link previously. Not sure if the request for hardy is too late already with the freeze in effect. My understanding is that bugs can still be fixed, but I might be wrong.
