Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
I did a
dpkg -i python2.3_2.3-4_powerpc.deb python_2.3-4_all.deb
which I built myself. But now, I can no longer upgrade the system.
Whatever I do to install packages with apt-get, I get:
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gadfly: Depends: python (< 2.3) but 2.3-4 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
"apt-get -f install" would remove packages:
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apt-listchanges gadfly gimp-python htmlgen idle python-apt python-dev

python-ldap python-mpz python-netcdf python-newt python-numeric
python-numeric-tutorial python-pmw python-tk python-xml
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 30 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
So, this is not a solution.

...and dpkg told you that it could not be configured because its
dependencies were not satisfied. You apparently ignored this error, even
though it told you that you had just broken your system.

and apt will not let you try to change packages when your system is broken.
This is a feature.
