Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have a full Python 2.5 packaged, as evidenced by
the lack of python2.5-dev. You need to use Python 2.6 or if you
absolutely must use Python 2.5 build it from source, try a Debian
package or switch distro. python-old-doctools does not replace python-
dev, it looks like it was bodged to keep some latex tools working.
