Package: python-support
Version: 1.0.10
Severity: normal
Hello,
I am using a Debian testing was downgraded from Ubuntu maverick. Admittedly
this history may be part of the problem, but I am reporting it nonetheless as
a) I don't think so
b) even if it is, to address it may help the overall stability/experience of
Debian

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ python --version
Python 2.6.6
So, apparently some python 2.6-incompatible code is executed by 2.6.
I did
$ sudo dpkg --purge python2.5 python-all python2.5-dev python-all-dev
and
$sudo apt-get -f install
has then worked. I have not tested, sadly, if it had worked before,
i.e. if the installation was reported to have not worked before. Looking
at the console-dump above it seems like a clean install nonetheless.
Hope this to have helped somewhat. I apologise for the noise if not.
