[maemo-developers] New release of Python2.5 for Maemo

[From: David Hautbois]

Hi

Some dev packages look like to be broken in X86 scratchbox target:

[sbox-CHINOOK_X86: ~/temp] > apt-get install python2.5-gtk2-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  python2.5-gtk2-dev: Depends: python2.5-gtk2 (= 2.12.1-1osso2) but 
2.12.1-1osso1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages


David.
