Hi

Sorry for taking a long time to answer. I was travelling.

Well, just one thing to correct on your package (I only saw this):
Epylog should also depends on libxml2-python2.3

Depends: python2.3, libxml2-python2.3

Installing tha package and withou having libxml2-python2.3 installed gives
an error about not loading a XML module.

Also, I installed the package at a test machine. It´ s giving error.

It is looking an error from Python 2.3
Take a look here:

So, I could not test Epylog... :-/

Thank you
