Hi

I'm not entirely sure what your error is but it kind of looks like you
have the wrong version of a package or a missing package.

Anyway, there are debian packages ready from
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~fb102/Debian.  If you are using i386 hardware
you can just grab the .deb file and install it using=20

$ dpkg -i python-visual_3.1.1-2_i386.deb

If you have an other architecture you'll need the .dsc, .diff.gz and
.orig.tar.gz files.  Drop them in a directory, and run=20

$ dpkg-source -x python-visual_3.1.1-2.dsc

Where dpkg-source is in the dpkg-dev package, so you'll need that
installed.
Next read the file python-visual-3.1.1/debian/control and make sure
you have all the packages listed on the second line "Build-Depends:"
installed (sorry, no automated way afaik).  Then just execute:

$ cd python-visual-3.1.1
$ dpkg-buildpackage -r fakeroot
$ ${GET_ROOT} dpkg -i ../python-visual-3.1.1-2_${ARCH}.deb

[errors might have slipped in here, I'm humanoid!]


I just checked and the package still builds fine in the current
sarge...


Hope this helped
