Short version: Are there plans to provide an installer for Ubuntu 9.04 or fix the problem with getting it from synaptic? If so, any idea when?
Back story:
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex to 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. When I tried to run a functional program I had been working on, I got the error:
ImportError: No module named direct.showbase.DirectObject
Using the Synaptic package manager, I uninstalled panda3d, but when I try to reinstall it, I get the error:
Package panda3d has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list
