reassign 618749 python-gobject 2.28.0-1
quit

*sigh* I can't spel.  Original report follows.
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Today's upgrade wants to pull in python2.5 and python2.5-minimal:

	# cupt full-upgrade
	Building the package cache... [done]
	Initializing package resolver and worker... [done]
	Scheduling requested actions... [done]
	Resolving possible unmet dependencies... 
	The following 2 packages will be INSTALLED:

	python2.5 python2.5-minimal 

	The following 2 packages will be UPGRADED:

	python-gobject python-gobject-cairo 

	Need to get 0B/5013KiB of archives. After unpacking 15.0MiB will be used.
	Do you want to continue? [y/N/q] 

Probably this is because the upgraded python-gobject specifies that it
Depends: libpython2.6 (>= 2.6), python2.5 (>= 2.5).

But dropping the dependency seems quite harmless --- any application
looking to use python2.5-gobject would require python2.5 already.
Would there be a reasonable way to drop it?

Thanks,
Jonathan
