1) MEphemeris requires Python XML functionality, so I don't think you have any choice except to install "python2.5-xml". I am not aware of a smaller/alternative library

2) I am puzzled that it 'used' to work for you, and now it does not. The suggests that you *did* (?) at one point have the necessary XML library, and it was removed from your system -- the behavior of MEphemeris should not change from one day to another, I think
Yes, it seems there is another python package that provides XML, and that one was removed. Perhaps you should add python2.5-xml as a requirement...?

Thanks a lot for your nice work!
Cheers,
L.

PS: BTW, if you can add telescope control (Meade/Celestron) to mephemeris (for example using INDI) that would be a dream come true!!
