In addition to that, there is the packaging nameclash with python-<modulename> if you name it python-base. not sure if there is or ever will be a base module though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
