[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#614587: amd64 binary depends on python2.4 (>= 2.3.90), which is not available in sid

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Hi

Trying to update/ install virtualbox-ose 4.0.4 on unstable/ amd64 leads
to this results

# LANG= apt-get install virtualbox-ose-qt virtualbox-ose
Reading package lists... 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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-ose : Depends: python2.4 (>= 2.3.90) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Interestingly it appears to depends on python2.4 && python2.5, while 
python2.4 is not part of testing/ unstable.

Description: x86 virtualization solution - base binaries
 VirtualBox is a free x86 virtualization solution allowing a wide range
 of x86 operating systems such as Windows, DOS, BSD or Linux to run on a
 Linux system.
 .
 This package provides the binaries for the Open Source Edition of
 VirtualBox. Either the virtualbox-ose-dkms or the virtualbox-ose-source
 package is also required in order to compile the kernel modules needed for
 virtualbox-ose. A graphical user interface for VirtualBox is provided by the
 package virtualbox-ose-qt.
Homepage: http://www.virtualbox.org/
Python-Version: >= 2.4
Tag: hardware::emulation, implemented-in::c++, interface::x11, role::program, x11::application

This doesn't seem to be a problem with the i386 binaries, built on a 
Debian buildd.
