It doesn't worked, but it's likely that I'm failing to select the
proper packages. And I'm still using dselect, perhaps some magic with
apt-get can ease the problem ??
I did the following: marked python1.5 to be installed and
python1.5-base and python-base to be purged. Because dependency issues
relating the packages I've shown in my previous post (python-cddb,
python-tk & al.) dselect refuses to install python1.5 and keeps
python1.5-base and python-base instead. I tried several combinations,
to no avail.
