ImportError: No module named submin

[alager]

Just ran ubuntu updates and something broke submin.

Here are the dpkg.log entries.

Whenever I try to run submin2-admin comands I get:

$ submin2-admin /var/lib/submin help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/submin2-admin", line 2, in <module>
    import submin, sys
ImportError: No module named submin

In conf-enabled/apache-webui-cgi.conf and conf-enabled/apache-svn.conf I noticed that the paths were to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages whereas the files appear to now live in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

I tried updating the paths, but now I get a server 500 error:

Ugh, that is annoying. It seems something changed in the packaging method.

I'll leave the issue open since it hasn't been fixed, but a workaround currently is:

ln -s ../site-packages/submin /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/submin

That's an easier method than what I ended up doing. I changed all the config files that referece dist to site.
