Warning: python-apt in testing broken, aptitude users DO NOT UPGRADE
Looks like the python2.2 stuff migrated into testing without noticing that it breaks python-apt. Anyone using python-apt (e.g. aptitude users) are advised not to upgrade. Anyone know how exactly the testing scripts managed to miss this breakage? -- Taral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is digitally signed. Please PGP encrypt mail to me.

Bug severity control is up to the developer. Although it does count as a dispute between Developers, so you could forward it to the TC. -- Taral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please use PGP/GPG encryption to send me mail.

Oh, that works too. I had used apt-get -d to download and dpkg -i to
install (dpkg will reinstall packages with plain -i).

Actually, dpkg is likely not to want to install them. Answer:
apt-get clean
apt-get -d install `dpkg --get-selections | awk '$2 == "install" { print
$1 }'`
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
This will force a reinstall. You just have to hope that upgraded
packages don't break on you.
