Trying to install avahi: prt-get depinst --install-scripts avahi

and keep getting the message about python extensions not found, then the installation fails.

checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/share/python2.5/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.5/site-packages checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found

Python 2.5 is installed successfully.
