[maemo-developers] Failed creating my first .deb package of a Python library for Chinook using Scratchbox

[From: Marcelo Lira]

Andrea,

an update, thanks to Osvaldo tip I managed to install flickrapi without
errors. I just needed to install the python2.5-dev package, again from
chinook extras repository.

Lauro and Osvaldo, having you guys around is very useful. :D
