You should mention that you use the live/minimal-cd next time.

Yeah I can reproduce the bug with install-amd64-minimal-20111006.iso (the newest one for now).
And if the python bug will cause other problems?

[Comment 4 KinG-InFeT 2011-10-14 10:36:26 UTC]

in x86 minimalCD the bug is not fixed!

[Comment 5 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) 2011-10-16 08:29:31 UTC]

please fixed this bug for x86, also *bump*

[Comment 6 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2011-10-24 15:54:24 UTC]

I've checked the amd64 specs and /usr/include is indeed dropped. I was able to track this to at least almost 4 years ago[1], so something must have changed in the python side.
In any case, I'll try to build the CDs without removing /usr/include and check the size difference.

[Comment 7 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2011-10-24 19:56:07 UTC]

So what would have changed? Python now starts reading stuff in /usr/include/pyconfig.h, where it didn't before? Where can I find out what version of Python is on the new images?

Always the latest stable version.

[Comment 9 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2011-11-05 20:07:12 UTC]

I've dropped the removal of /usr/include from the specs for both amd64 and x86[1].
