I'm not sure. I just did it because wgrant told me to!

<wgrant> jml: I don't get such errors, no. Do you have a
2.4-compatible python-crypto?
<wgrant> jml: Karmic's isn't sufficient.
<jml> wgrant, I do now!
<jml> wgrant, I wonder why lp-dev-dependencies doesn't depend on it.
<wgrant> jml: It looks to me like python-crypto in ~launchpad/ppa is
sufficiently 2.4-enabled. Did lp-dev-deps not pull that one in?
<jml> wgrant, apparently not.
<wgrant> or did you not run an upgrade after activating the PPA, just
installing the new package?
<jml> it might have been that.
<jml> I just installed lp-dev-deps
<wgrant> Ah.
<wgrant> If you'd upgraded, it would have pulled the right one in.
<jml> I'll amend the wiki page.
