So, I have fully functional PyGTK app and I want to package it with quickly since that is the easiest way to do it, and the only logical way, since if someone took efort to implement such tool, why not take advantage of that.

But, it does not work for me:

quickly package
...An error has occurred when creating debian packaging
ERROR: can't create or update ubuntu package
ERROR: package command failed
Aborting

I was considering to post a bug, but I have no idea how to provide some useful information about how to reproduce it.

Any idea?

EDIT:

Just for the reference, I filled new bug report on https://bugs.launchpad.net/quickly/+bug/914140.

Thx. I saw that bug, it is marked as duplicate of bugs.launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra/+bug/746565 which in description mentions slightly different output then mine and one from bug you posted. Also, it says that it is fixed in python-distutils-extra - 2.26-2ubuntu0.2 , I have python-distutils-extra 2.29-1ubuntu1 installed. – umpirsky Jan 9 '12 at 22:26
ouch, I would file a bug report. – bodhi.zazen Jan 9 '12 at 22:33
Will do, but I'm afraid that will not package my app this year :) – umpirsky Jan 9 '12 at 22:36
Well, IMO, nothing really takes the place of either learning to package or use a packaging tool, such as a ppa. Others may have suggestions as well , see askubuntu.com/questions/84938/… – bodhi.zazen Jan 9 '12 at 22:41
