Re: [orca-list] python-pyatspi package in ubuntu hardy

Luke,
Your suggestions worked great for installing python-pyatspi.
Now I have a problem with python-speechd.  Here's the error:

Preparing to replace python-speechd 0.6.5-1ubuntu4~ppa2 (using 
.../python-speec
d_0.6.6-0ubuntu5_all.deb) ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

pycentral seems to be looking for some version info.  I could probably 
force the install by removing the postinst script from 
/var/lib/dpkg/info, but I'd rather follow this through to get a clean 
install.

The files for python-speechd have been copied into 
/usr/share/pycentral...

I have a question about the location of the python files.  pyatspi files 
are in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages whereas the ones for 
python-speechd are under /usr/share/pycentral.  What the reason for 
this?

Thanks for your help
Chris

This worked.
