Package: python2.4
Version: 2.4.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

  When I tried to upgrade, dpkg croaked and bailed out with:

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/python2.4_2.4.2+2.4.3c1-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/pwd.so', which is
also in package python2.4-minimal

  However, the order of installed packages was: python2.4 ->
python2.4-minimal. Manual "aptitude install python2.4" after
dist-upgrade succeeds.

  As such, the bug is in the order the packages were processed. Because
this breaks during upgrade and quite likely during installation as well,
I'm fairly confident that severity is justified.

  Thank you.
