Try this repository instead. dehaan has stopped development on
cobbler and his repo is likely to be out of date.

OK, thanks I'll give it a go. Is that Cobbler 2.x?

Looking at the debian directory, and from my hazy memory about
building debian packages, it sounds like you built this on an older
version of Debian/Ubuntu that uses python 2.4, but installed it on a
newer version that uses python 2.6. The version of python is hard
coded at build time. That is the first place I would look.
Nope, package was built on the same machine I tried to install on,
Ubuntu Lucid. The exact steps that I took are documented on the
blogpost I linked to above - I was cutting and pasting from the
command-line as I wrote that post!
(I added the extra repos/python install after the initial failure.)
As for if cobbler runs on python 2.6, I'm currently running it on
my
F12 system on python 2.6.2.
hmmm, ok, so it's not that then!
