[Bug 339730] [NEW] python-pyx has a broken package in jaunty

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-pyx

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release:	9.04

2) $ apt-cache policy python-pyx
python-pyx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
     0.9-4ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages

3) I expected python-pyx to be installed without any problems and with
minimal dependencies

4) I tried to install python-pyx, and aptitude said the package was
broken and tried to install ~250Mb of localization packages (which I
think are unnecessary). Here's the output:

$ sudo aptitude install python-pyx

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]


I'm curious if all those texlive packages are related to the  broken package. I did not accept this solution, then installed a different package (gnucash), and it did not attempt to install the texlive packages.
