Referencer

Is there a reason for the python2.5 dependency in Ubuntu 9.04?

Asked by Mihai Capotă

Ubuntu 9.04 comes with python2.6, but Referencer tries to install python2.5. Is there a reason for this or is it just a bug?

referencer_1.1.5-1_amd64.deb depends on python2.5 (>= 2.5).
Shouldn't it depend on python (>= 2.5)?

I rechecked the dependency a second ago. Same situation.
I still need an answer.

No, there's probably not a reason for it to depend on the older version.
