GCompris broken in Jaunty - workaround: install python-numeric

[taygan]

The GCompris in the Jaunty repositories doesn't work. It's an old version with an unsatisfied dependency. Installing python-numeric will fix it.
sudo apt-get install python-numeric The newer versions of GCompris don't need python-numeric, so hopefully they'll get the repostiories updated.

When I started GCompris in the terminal without python-numeric I got this:

exec_prefix NULL
XF86VidMode: Compiled with XF86VidMode.
If you have problems starting GCompris in fullscreen, try the -x option to disable XF86VidMode.

Thanks! Exact same error and your fix did it. Strange how Gcompris made it to the repositories without this set as a dependancy...I thought all packages are actually tested before release. Anyway, thanks a lot!
