Too bad but at least I've had the exercise and I have an environment ready to package python2.6 should the need arise to maintain a separate backports package.

Hi,

tried to make python2.6 backport, I've this error :

...
BEGIN pybench static
cd /root/python2.6-2.6.5/build-static \
	  && time ./python ../Tools/pybench/pybench.py -f run1.pybench -C 2 -n

This is the commands I've used (I use testing python 2.6 package) :

  $ apt-get update
  $ apt-get source python2.6
  $ apt-get build-dep
  $ apt-get build-dep python2.6
  $ cd python2.6-2.6.5/
  $ apt-get install fakeroot
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

What is my mistake ?

I'm wonder if someone have succeeded to build a python 2.6 backport for 
Lenny ?

Thanks for your help,
Stephane
