I have a little problem - today I've upgraded my Debian Lenny and I got a suprise - PoL was`t installed in my computer. I tried to install it, but it's depending old package - python version 2.5 or earlier (Lenny installing python version 2.5.0.2). I tried to install older python by hand but it was too much problems to do it. Now I`m downgrading system to Etch, but I think that it isn`t good way becouse Lenny is the most used Debian version.

It's working on my lenny. Did you add the wx repository ?

I have the same problem on my Debian lenny box. Package PlayOnLinux_3.0.1.deb depends on python-wxgtk2.8 (from wx repo) which depends both on python >= 2.4 and python < 2.5. There is only 2.5.2-1 version of python.


$ wget http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/3.0.1/PlayOnLinux_3.0.1.deb
$ wget -qO - http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | apt-key add -
$ echo 'deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ etch-wx main' >> sources.list
$ aptitude update
$ aptitude install unzip wine xterm python python-wxgtk2.8 imagemagick cabextract lzma
$ dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_3.0.1.deb

the same problem here..

$ sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

replace

deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ etch-wx main
by

deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main

and this will do the trick

Thanks! It helped ;)

Finally I can install PlayOnLinux
$ sudo dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_3.0.1.deb
