This package specifies dependency on dev-python/pyxml. Please test this package with dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r2:2.7 or >=dev-lang/python-2.7.2_pre20110515:2.7, which require explicit calling of xml.use_pyxml() before using PyXML. If this package actually needs PyXML, then modify all modules/scripts of this package, which import xml module. The following code should be added before first import of anything from xml module: import xml if hasattr(xml, "use_pyxml"): xml.use_pyxml() This code works with previous versions of Python, so no changes in dependencies are needed.
Not 100% sure, but it seems in this case we could get it done by a similar patch as in javatoolkit, as it seems only PrettyPrint gets used.
patches welcome.
This debian patch should drop that dependency: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/opendict/0.6.3-3.1/004_remove_pyxml.diff
Fixed.
