[Python-modules-team] Bug#587891: python-ll-core: Depends on "python < 2.6" instead of, e.g., python2.5 | ...

[Edward Welbourne]

Package: python-ll-core
Version: 1.11.1-1
Severity: important


I've asked aptitude to update, only to find it wants to upgrade python
to 2.6 (yay !) and two packages (python-ll-core and python-xml)
conflict with that because they depend on python < 2.6 (i.e. the
primary python package must be at a version less than 2.6) rather than
depending on availability of a version of python earlier than 2.6.  I
have python2.5 installed anyway - and it's not going away just because
2.6 is becoming the default - so I can still use these packages, just
not in the default python version.

Presumably it should suffice to change the requirement to
python < 2.6 | python2.5 | python2.4 | ...
and these packages will be happy with the transition.
