    16 There are no pre-built packages available for dapper or sarge, as these releases are too old to provide the necessary support packages (python-central, setuptools, etc). You can probably still install from source on these releases, however.

    30 We do not yet know of a solid workaround for this. One suggestion is to comment out the "from allmydata.webish import WebishServer" line from allmydata/client.py and not use the 'webport' feature. Another is to modify formless/annotate.py and try to fix that import problem. A third is to find a backport of a newer version of nevow.
