Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python2.5-dbg
Version: 2.5-2ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Hi,
this was a problem with TeTex for a while too, but they worked around it.
The /usr/local partition is an NFS mount and is not writeable by all hosts,
including the one showing this issue.
I can probably just create the directory it wants and have the update succeed
but I thought the policy was to leave /usr/local alone.
Here's what happens....
# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-headers-server linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Thanks for your time,
