Pymacs lisp version rarities

I am running Ubuntu Natty and install Emacs and pymacs and ropemacs all from the repos. So when I add to my .emacs file the script to load ropemacs and pymacs I get the following error:

File mode specification error: (error "Pymacs Lisp version is 0.23, Python is 0.24-beta2"

I've been reading the docs and readmes but I haven't found out what is happening here. So I turn to you. Any ideas? Thanks!

All I had to do to fix this was install this package https://launchpad.net/~portis25/+archive/emacs/+build/2287757 Ubuntu automatically upgrades it and it worked great.

I think the error message indicates that the Elisp and Python sides of Pymacs aren't in synch.

Perhaps this is some sort of packaging problem. The Pymacs version in Ubuntu Natty is 0.23, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/pymacs.

I use Pymacs 0.24-beta2 downloaded from https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/downloads.

The Elisp part of Pymacs is in pymacs.el. In my copy of that file it says:

Pymacs Lisp version is 0.24-beta2...

In pymacs.py, it says: 

lisp._protocol.send('version', '"0.24-beta2"')
