Breezy doesn't even have 2.4.3 yet, but it is in unstable, so I suspect it will come in a few days.

why does it depend on python2.3 instead of python2.4 ?

This version is from Sid and not Ubuntu, I did not notice that requirement since I have to use Python 2.3 for work.:-\"

I will rebuild it once it makes it into Breezy. Don't worry, Python 2.3 and 2.4 can live side by side.

I don't have Python script support anymore with this package :(. I will be forced to downgrade to the official package :(

Looks like the Breezy xchat package maintainer has it compiling againist python 2.4 but part of the configuration is still look for Python 2.3. I have submitted a bug report for this and will, try to fix it also.

any tips on downgrading xchat?? :(

[Homer]

1. Remove Ubuntu backports in your /etc/apt/sources.list

2. sudo apt-get update

3. sudo apt-get remove xchat
(will also remove ubuntu-desktop, but it's ok)

4. sudo apt-get clean
(don't know if it's necessary, but I did it)

5. sudo apt-get install xchat ubuntu-desktop

Should work ;)
