When the MOTD contains ampersands (like, say, IS&T), zenity barfs and defaults to the useless "All updates are complete.". We should run the output of get_message through tr or something and get rid of the characters '&', '<' and '>'. And possibly anything else that Pango thinks it should interpret.

Escaping them with \ doesn't work - we either get to convert to HTML entities, or strip them out.

    (this is on, like, natty)
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:45:04  (Anders Kaseorg)
    Haha, /usr/athena.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 16:44:21  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    so not the point
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:49:02  (Anders Kaseorg)
    A workaround is python -S.

    Wait, what about /usr/athena is causing it to lose?  If I symlink
    python into /usr/local/bin or even /opt/bin it's fine
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 16:56:18  (Anders Kaseorg)
    python being symlinked is different from its containing directory
    being symlinked.
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:01:31  (Anders Kaseorg)
    From my sysconfig.py (on oneiric, which has the same problem):
    
    def _get_makefile_filename():
        if _PYTHON_BUILD:
            return os.path.join(_PROJECT_BASE, "Makefile")
        return os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib').replace("/usr/local","/usr",1), "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile")
    
    and /usr/athena/local doesn’t match that.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 17:02:17  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    I don't, then, understand why this still works:
    jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/usr
    [sudo] password for jdreed: 
    jdreed@infinite-loop:~$ /opt/usr/bin/python -c 'import platform;print platform.python_version()'
    2.7.1+
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:03:51  (Anders Kaseorg)
    Because /opt/usr/local does match that.
debathena / python / jdreed  2011-09-21 17:03:54  (This zephyr does not necessarily reflect the views of IS&T, MIT, its)
    Hrm.  We should probably still care somehow, since we just broke our
    compatibility layer without telling anyone
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:05:11  (Anders Kaseorg)
    $ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/usr
    $ /opt/usr/bin/python -c ''
    $ sudo ln -nsf /usr /opt/rsu
    $ /opt/rsu/bin/python -c ''
    …
    IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /opt/rsu/local/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

    Well, uh, you can read debian/patches/distutils-install-layout.diff,
    cry, and file a hilarious Debian bug?
debathena / python / andersk  2011-09-21 17:13:06  (Anders Kaseorg)
    It looks like it would work if /usr/athena/bin was the symlink
    instead of /usr/athena?

I installed Natty using the beta installer and switching the distro and using option 1b to preserve my current disk contents. It didn't.

(This would be higher-priority but 1b isn't advertised or supported)
