Does anyone volunteer to help building python2.5 libs for python2.7? I might help with it if and only if someone is eager to join. There are many of them

Aapo: a critical bug detected.

If the directory /usr/lib/python2.7 exists (and it exists somehow even without python2.7 installed), /opt/python27 points to /usr/lib/python2.7/python2.7. The postinst should expect that the directory might exist.

I was thinking the same, as a first step to 2.7 migration
I'll try to merge Aapo packaging with version 2.7.8-11 from debian jessie

2.7.8 has lots of bugs fixed, briefly looking at the changelog.

Yes, version 2.7.8-11 is based on 2.7.8 with patch applied.
Upstream version 2.7.9 is planned in december.
If we keep maemo packaging close to jessie packaging version it shouldn't be hard to upgrade.

I tested, /usr/lib/python2.7/python2.7 pointed to /opt/python27/lib/python2.7, installation was broken.

Anyway, IMHO we can't manage the case.
/usr/lib/python2.7 _must_ be a link to /opt/python2.7/lib.
If it exists before installation of python2.7, we have no way to go ahead.
Every package writing in /usr/lib/python2.7 should depend on python2.7 (symlinking is in python2.7-minimal postinst), so he should find symlink to /opt ready.

What package was creating /usr/lib/python2.7 in your system ?

I have absolutely no idea! dpkg -S indicates nothing. The content is

Code:

/usr/lib/python2.7 $ ls dist-packages/
Numeric                   configobj-4.6.0.egg-info  hildonglade.py            numpy-1.4.0.egg-info      pygst.pyc
Numeric.pth               configobj.py              hildonglade.pyc           osso                      validate.py
PIL                       configobj.pyc             location-0.1.egg-info     osso-0.4.egg-info         validate.pyc
PIL.pth                   gst-0.10                  mutagen                   pygst.pth
cairo                     hildon-0.9.0.egg-info     numpy                     pygst.py

If dist-packages exist, we should move it to /opt and then create the symlink

cssu-thumb on device as well. did you run dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.7? also, what is output of mount.
