That seems to be a very old old error, meanwhile tagged as "graved"... The workarround Chris posted today worked here too. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368695 Reported by: bdepardon <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 08:18:45 UTC Severity: normal Thanks to Christian Kujau who posted a workarround: Edit /usr/bin/debsecan #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2.4 ... Fingering with the editor in security relevant files seems not to be a god solution, or? Why can't that be fixed over 2 years or at least been documented i an obviously way? I found other threads complaining about this problem since years (i assume: after python 2.5 becam a deabin paket) but no answers! (The reason why i repeated all stuff here is to make it "findable" by google&Co.)
