    Ubuntu Lucid + latest updates

    Do you guys have a work around for this? Maybe removing the old versions somehow?

    OK if I specify the required kombu and poster versions I get exceptions for each one. So how to remove the old versions?

    I'm not at my linux box at the moment but I think I did:

    sudo dpkg -r python-mutagen

    or

    sudo apt-get remove python-mutagen

    Thanks. I guess the dependency python-mutagen can be removed from http:// wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CC/Installing+Airtime+Dev+Vers ion+%28Latest+Trunk%29 Otherwise it overwrites the newer version.

    I also did some searching and found out you need to update pip to have an uninstall option.

    sudo pip install -U pip


    Now I have version 1.0.1

    Then I did 
    sudo pip uninstall kombu poster pyinotify mutagen


    Then 
    sudo pip install kombu poster pyinotify==0.9.2 mutagen==1.20


    That was fine except that python-pyinotify was installed and so I had to also remove it with 
    sudo apt-get remove python-pyinotify
    .

    I could then go back and use 
    sudo pip install pyinotify==0.9.2


    Now my 
    sudo airtime-check-system
    is happy and my media-monit process is not giving this exception:
