python problem in unstable
When I upgrade my system (Debian/unstable) with dselect or "apt-get
upgrade" I get the following errors about python dependency/conflict. A
Few days back there was some mails in the list about the problem and
some people said that the python was broken in unstable distribution.
Has this problem been solved or not?
Since it started I have not been able to install any new package.
:(
I am pasting the output in the end of email.
Thanks
