If there are bits offcially shipped that hang then it needs to be fixed. But I'd rather see python-numeric be removed altogether and the dependent packages be rebased on numpy. > Would it not be better to package numpy and put in Provides: and > Obsoletes: python-numeric? numpy superseeds numeric, but applications based on numeric need to be touched. For example instead of "import Numeric" you'll use "import numpy.oldnumeric". The numpy folks argue that if a dependent python package hasn't been converted to use numpy then it's effectively (upstream-)unmaintained. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
