knoppix-med: Python2.2 dep problem

[Jubal <jubal@metahelp.co.nz>]

 Hi All,

I have the following dependency problem when trying to install the 
gnumed-client.

on trying to install client i get the error:
gnumed-snapshot-client depends on libwxgtk2.3-python; however:
 Package libwxgtk2.3-python is not installed.

on trying to install libwxgtk2.3-python i get the error:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libwxgtk2.3-python: Depends: python (>= 2.2) but 2.1.3-4 is to be 
installed

python 2.2 however is actually installed on knoppix as python2.2, 
different from just 'python' which is version 2.1. _How can i get dpkg 
to recognise that version 2.2 of python is installed as python2.2?_
Whats the most elegant solution to this? i can overcome it by using dpkg 
-i --force-depends.. but then every time i apt-get, it asks me to use 
'apt-get -f' which removes the gnumed-client and libwxgtk2.3-python.

(also, if i try to install version 2.2 of python i run into the 
following problems:
Selected version 2.2.2-1 (Debian:unstable) for python
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
