gdecrypt does not start - window appears for a blink, thats it. If I run gdecrypt in the console it says "/usr/bin/env: python2.5: No such file or directory"

exactly the same here!

gdecrypt 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4 on lucid (Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686)

First line of both main.py and createui.py (located @ /usr/share/gdecrypt) should be changed from:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

to:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6

It could help people with hal package installed. However hal is deprecated in Ubuntu 10.04.

So is this really the correct place for this bug to be posted or should it be directly under the project "GDecrypt". Since the current development branch is the last release branch and the same as this Ubuntu package.

By the way Inox's change resolves the issue, I am working to see if we can get the current release updated for Ubuntu 10.04+.

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
Changed to:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
In both main.py and createui.py (located @ /usr/share/gdecrypt)

This bug was fixed in the package gdecrypt - 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu5

Using Ubuntu Lucid.
In the updated repositories I only find 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4
In "ubuntu-proposed" I don't see any update for gdecrypt.

I've patched manually the problem editing the file /usr/share/gdecrypt/main.py and changing the first line:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

By:
#!/usr/bin/env python2

In "ubuntu-proposed" I don't see any update for gdecrypt.

That's because it was fixed in Maverick, not Ubuntu. I've uploaded to lucid-proposed now. It's pending Ubuntu SRU team verification, which will be announced here.

Accepted gdecrypt into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Lucid:
I have reproduced the problem with gdecrypt 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4 in lucid and have verified that the version of gdecrypt 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4.1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done

This bug was fixed in the package gdecrypt - 0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4.1

---------------
gdecrypt (0.7.2.2-0ubuntu4.1) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Change shebang to use unversioned python. Thanks to Draycen DeCator for
    the patch. (LP: #574237)
