--- Begin Message ---Package: python-support Version: 1.0.9 Severity: normal My attempt to update to python-defaults 2.6.x initially ran into a cascade of errors stemming from Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 460, in <module> private_packages[package].bytecompile() File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 120, in bytecompile + self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 470, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 623, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1139, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory error running python rtupdate hook python-support dpkg: error processing python (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4 Some digging revealed the problem: an obsolete package I had installed featured a .pyversion reading "2.4-", so update-python-modules tried to direct the nonexistent python2.4- interpreter to byte-compile its files. Removing the offending package allowed u-p-m to succeed, but I for one would appreciate it if you could please arrange for u-p-m to produce clearer errors that at the very least indicate the source of trouble.
