<br>First there is issue libsdl-ttf2.0-0 vs. libsdl-ttf2.0 packages. At some point Nokia has included libsdl-ttf2.0 package in SDK and their repositories while Extras already had libsdl-ttf2.0-0 (which I believe to be the "correct" name because it is used in Debian). These packages are of course conflicting and older packages depend on Extras package and newer on Nokia package. Attila Csipa handled this issue in earlier mail.
<br>
<br>Extras maintainer has updated his package to a dummy package which depends on Nokia package which fixes the problem. Updated package is found only from extras-devel and it's not going to promoted to Extras with normal procedures in near future so somebody who can should go and promote it..
<br></p></div></blockquote><div>Unless I'm grossly mistaken, that does not solve the problem. First of all, most apps depending on it do not depend on it as a version, so H-A-M will never update it on it's own, even if the newer version is in Extras. Second, if you already installed, you will not be able to update as the package in the nokia repo has no provides/replaces clause, so apt will fail as it will try to overwrite a file already existing in the package that triggered the upgrade. <a href="https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10450" target="_blank">https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10450</a> is quite silent so I might need to poke someone (kinda tried that last week, but apparently wasn't adamant enough :)<br>

"import numpy" fails after installing it. After installing mypaint numpy seems to work, so python-numpy has broken dependencies.
<br>
<br>Unfortunately there is updated python-pygame which uses numpy. So "import pygame" fails too, which breaks all pygame applications (if mypaint is not installed). Pygame automatically tries to use numpy, if it's installed.
<br>
<br>To fix this situation I think somebody should fix numpy package and fast track promote it to Extras.
<br></p></div></blockquote><div>It doesn't have a bugtracker, so might need maintainer poking... though the issue itself has already been highlighted in the package interface, but that we have more and more python stuff the issue is becoming more and more apparent. <br>
