Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.6-8
Severity: normal
With the latest upgrade to 2.6.6-8 of python2.6 I get the following error in
the
postinstall script:
============================================
Setting up python2.6 (2.6.6-8) ...
Sorry: TypeError: ('compile() expected string without null bytes',)dpkg: error
processing python2.6 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

dpkg: dependency problems prevent
configuration of python:
python depends on python2.6 (>= 2.6.6-1~); however:
Package python2.6 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing python (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libpython2.6:
libpython2.6 depends on python2.6 (= 2.6.6-8); however:
Package python2.6 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing libpython2.6 (--configure):

configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
python2.6
python
libpython2.6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
============================================
After that it tries it again and fails again, leaving those packages in an
unconfigured state.
Trying to downgrade those packages also fails, since it appears aptitude wants
to configure
those packages first, which, as described earlier, fails.
