Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-central

Background:
Some time ago I read an article about terminator, with a download link. The 
download link turned out to be for the package in hardy/universe, and it would 
not install on gutsy because it depended on a newer python-central. I 
aborted/removed it (or so I thought.)

I upgraded from gutsy to hardy on 7 April, using update-manager. At some
point things started failing with a message like:

"Could not install python-central: subprocess postinst returned error
exit status 1"

This caused a whole lot of other things to not install (gnome-panel etc)
as they depended on python. I eventually completed the upgrade in a
terminal. When I tried to upgrade python-central manually, it reported:
"pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: package terminator is not installed".

I installed terminator from universe, and then upgrading python-central
succeeded - and I could install the failed packages and complete the
upgrade to hardy.

** Affects: python-central (Ubuntu)
