[bug-sourceinstall] Bug installing Python 2.4.1

[Lutz Horn]

Hi,

Sourceinstall looks very nice and is quite usable.  Good work!

I've encountered an error while trying to install Python (version  
2.4.1).  I'm working under Mac OS X 10.4.2 with Fink 0.8.0, Tcl/Tk  
8.4.6 and Expect 5.41.0 (both from Fink). Sourceinstall is at version  
0.4.

Here is the problem.  In the "Configure" step of Python 2.4.1  
sourceinstall pops up an error message saying "Error: can't read  
"optional_packages(--with(out))": no such element in array".  The  
details for this error message can be seen in the first screenshot[0]  
I've uploaded to to web.

After closing this error message with "OK", sourceinstall hangs: it  
opens the "Configure package" dialog but this dialog has no buttons  
(see the second screenshot[1])!  This dialog can be closed using the  
window managers (oroborus under XDarwin) control, but none of the  
three buttons "Remove", "Stop", "Add" in sourceinstall is enabled.   
Sourceinstall must be closed using the File -> Quit menu entry.
