Something is going wrong with update-python-modules, which is in the
python-support package. I don't know what, though. I would suggest
that you write to debian-python@lists.debian.org with this question --
they should know which package is at fault (I'm guessing that one of
your Python packages somehow corrupted the registry of installed
Python modules, but I don't know how to find out which one).
