[Bug 269936] Re: lacks dependency on metakit

[Daniel Holbach]

Nick: the python-metakit change needs to be reverted, at least for now.
This is what happens in intrepid:

We're in a funny situation here: according to http://people.ubuntu.com
/~ubuntu-archive/removals.txt libmetakit2.4.9.3 was removed from hardy
because it was orphaned in Debian. At the time when it was removed this
was possible because there was no package depending on it (gourmet
didn't have the depends back then).

Now either we need to see if it's feasible to bring libmetakit2.4.9.3
back (which looks like a tough job judging by the number of bugs saying
that it failed to build somewhere) or ask gourmet upstream if there is
no alternative to libmetakit.

A brief glance through the code suggest that there are alternative code
paths almost everywhere and that metakit should not be a hard
requirement. Luis: can you please let us know what the problem/traceback
exactly is, when python-metakit is not installed?
