[Python-modules-team] Bug#561608: python-multiprocessing: FTBFS if only python 2.6 is installed

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Package: python-multiprocessing
Version: 2.6.2.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patchaftbfs python2.6
Justification: fails to build from source
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu karmic ubuntu-patch

Hi,

When building this package with python2.6 only, it FTBFS with the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/python-multiprocessing-2.6.2.1'
mkdir -p Doc/static Doc/templates
python2.5 setup.py build_sphinx --builder="html" \
	    --source-dir=Doc/
/bin/sh: python2.5: not found
make[1]: *** [doc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/python-multiprocessing-2.6.2.1'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

This can be solved changing python2.5 to python in Makefile, as done with the
 following patch.

Thanks,
Fabrice

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

  * Makefile: changed python2.5 to python to make the package build with
    python2.6

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
