Comment 4 for bug 308194

Hey Morten, hi Matthias,

first, I still confirm the problem in jaunty. The lxml package FTBFSes with

running build_ext
error: Cython does not appear to be installed on platform 'posix'
[22329 refs]
make: *** [dbg-build-python2.4] Fehler 1

the 2.5 build works, but the 2.4 build fails. Matthias, any idea why this works in Debian, but not Ubuntu?

Morten, I looked at your debdiff, and the changelog says that you modified debian/rules to call cython, etc. However, the debdiff only ships a modified lxml.etree.c and the .pyx change, no other code/logic changes. If your intention is to just ship a working lxml.etree.c, that's good enough for an SRU, but then the changelog should explain that. If your intention is to have the file actually be generated on build, then some bits are missing. Thanks for any insight, and sorry for the long delay over the Christmas/new year holidays!
