Seems to be a problem on 8.10 server as well. Get the same error message as above. Any possible work arounds?

132 Days since the bug was reported and still no fix?

Same issue during installation of calendarserver with

  apt-get install calendarserver

Just installed a fresh french 9.04 server on a i386 virtual computer, and, when installing the "python-twisted-calendarserver" i get the same error related to "__init__.py".

I need to test the "calendarserver" package ASAP as I'm working on a full Windows replacement : if something cannot be replaced, the client will not change the installed software ...

Please help, many thanks in advance :-)

A new upstream version was released three weeks ago
http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/tags/release

It has this ticket resolved
http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/325

So, would an update simply fix our problem?

Pim

Here is a link to Debian bug #522063 "New upstream release 2.2"
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522063

The maintainers have already been notified about version 2.3
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/calendarserver-maintainers/2009-August/000209.html

Perhaps someone should add a comment to the bug itself

Pim

176 Days and still no fix. Is the maintainer still alive.

and another month (and 6 days) later...

Has this package ever worked?
tryed 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 but uninstallable..

Maybe the bug could be solved by packing the new calendarserver. See below:

Message #44 received at <email address hidden> (full text, mbox):

From: Sander Marechal <email address hidden>
To: <email address hidden>
Subject: Progress??
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:39:16 +0100

Any progress on this? I'd love to see 2.3 packaged because it solves bug
#529210. The new CalendarServer doesn't need a specially patched Twisted
anymore.

Kind regards,

Calendarserver 1.x uses dav-acl-1608-4 branch of Twisted
Calendarserver 2.x uses the dav-take-two-3081-3 branch of Twisted

See ticket 325 on calendarserver.org

This seems to be related to #410098 -- twisted installs a directory named "plugins" but it isn't a Python package, it is just a directory. Some other tools seem to create an __init__.py file and put it into this directory sometimes, and that seems to cause a problem. Or maybe I got it all backwards. Anyway, something is messed up with regard to files named "twisted/plugins/__init__.py" in Debian and Ubuntu.

Why is this bug marked as a duplicate of #410098? It's not. The bug here is that the CalendarServer ubuntu package is broken and won't install. That other bug has to do with the Nevow package being broken in a completely different way, and they are related to different underlying problems. CalendarServer requires its own version of Twisted (one which includes twisted.web2.dav, which is not currently on trunk), which is why it doesn't work, but Nevow's debian package is just interacting with the system version of Twisted improperly.

Zooko: Twisted's "plugins" directory is indeed a Python package. Why do you say it isn't? It's a python package which contains modules from several different uh, "things" (what python would call "distributions" and ubuntu would call "packages").

"Why is this bug marked as a duplicate of #410098? It's not."

My mistake.

"Zooko: Twisted's "plugins" directory is indeed a Python package. Why do you say it isn't?"

My other mistake. Sorry about that! Let this be a lesson to you, kids, not to do issue ticket gardening while feverish.

workaround that did it for me:

# 1.
downgrade to intrepid

#2.
install calendarsever

#3.
upgrade to current release, karmic in my case

it might be dirty but hey? No offense,but this seems to take a little longer.
python-xml seems to be the culprit. Is it true that this packages was updated
in 2004-11-29 the last time?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxml/files/
