[Qgis-user] Re: Installing QGIS 1.5 on Debian Lenny / Squeeze

[Gary Smith]

Niccolo,

Thanks for the response.

I am trying to install on Squeeze. I have included Squeeze in the 
sources.list file. I usually use Synaptic but in order to present 
information for debugging I have used apt-get install. See below:

AspireOne:/home/gary# apt-get install qgis

Everything goes well except now when I run QGIS I get my old friend ...

Couldn't load PyQGIS.
Python support will be disabled.

I have Python 2.5 installed but the default python version is 2.6. I 
cannot revert python to 2.5. Again QGIS 1.4.0 from the Debian repository 
installs fine.

Also, note from the above that "qgis-plugin-grass" is not a dependency, 
it is a recommended package only. That is despite 
"qgis-plugin-grass-common" being a dependency. Is that correct?

I appreciate the assistance.
