[Python-modules-team] Error while configuring python-opengl

[Thomas Pietrzak]

Hi,

I had a problem when updating python-opengl for several days. I had a
look at the error:

dpkg : erreur de traitement de python-opengl (--configure) :
 le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de
sortie d'état 1
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
 python-opengl

It appears that the problem was that the update script was run by python
2.3 instead of pyton 2.4 ou python 2.5. I removed python2.3 as it is
useless, and python-opengl configured fine. Does the python-opengl
package require more precise dependencies to specify it doesn't supports
python 2.3?

Cheers,

Tom
