[Bug 346931] Re: mayavi2 fails to build from source (FTBFS) on jaunty

[Andrew Straw]

Gaël, my patch is more of a band-aid -- since we're past the feature
freeze for Jaunty, I don't think any more can easily be done.

For upstream, I think the real problem is that the distutils build
command gets called twice by  the Debian build system. First, it does
"python setup.py build" and the tvtk zip file is built. Then, during a
second run, "python setup.py install" (distutils install command calls
build again), the zip file is there and the bug is triggered. Thus, my
patch simply lets build start again during the install step, but this is
actually curing only a symptom, not the cause.

That said, a band-aid in upstream is better than a complete failure!
