[Bug 777524] Re: “Repair broken packages” option breaks with Python ≥ 2.6

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report. Confirmed in Oneiric. Setting to triaged/medium
because even if friendly-recovery is a core component it will still work
relying on apt rather than update-manager to recover from a dpkg
failure.

Title:
  “Repair broken packages” option breaks with Python ≥ 2.6

Status in “friendly-recovery” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “friendly-recovery” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: friendly-recovery

  From /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/dpkg:
    for v in 2.5 2.6; do
      python="/usr/bin/python$v"
      script="/usr/lib/python$v/site-packages/DistUpgrade/dist-upgrade.py"
      …

  This has two bugs:
  • Ubuntu has Python 2.6 and 2.7 now.  (Perhaps the version list should be automatically generated from /usr/share/python/debian_defaults?)
  • As of Python 2.6, site-packages was renamed to dist-packages.
