[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#473607: fails to install unless python is installed

Package: libboost-python-dev
Version: 1.34.1-9
Severity: serious
If pyversions is not available, i.e. if python is not installed, the postinst script
fails:
Setting up libboost-python-dev (1.34.1-9) ...
dpkg: error processing libboost-python-dev (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
This is because of set -e and the "which pyversions &&" construct.
You can fix this by using a different construct, e.g.
"if pyversions; then ... fi" which will not cause the script to fail
if pyversions is not available.
Gruesse,
