Removal of python-support on Xenial #84

Closed almostearthling closed 4 months ago

almostearthling commented 8 years ago

Release 16.04 LTS of Ubuntu removes the python-support package from its repositories. As When only depends on Python 3.4, its packaging script includes the utility provided by that package as a requirement, and thus python-support as a dependency. It probably has to be removed from the dependency list at least for Xenial, otherwise the package will not be installable unless the system was upgraded from a previous Ubuntu release.

A workaround to install When anyway is to download the latest version of the package (it is architecture neutral) from launchpad and manually install it - for example using sudo dpkg -i python-support_1.0.15_all.deb.
