In my tree I've splitted the python 2.3 stuff out of python-apt into its own package. python-apt is now contains only documentation and depends on python2.3-apt. The problem is that we are missing a versioned conflict against older versions of python-apt, which contains the same files as python2.3-apt does now. As a workaround you can upgrade to the latest version of python-apt from experimental, that will pull in python2.3-apt automatically and fix the error you discribe. While we're at it, should we add a Suggests: line for python-apt to python2.3-apt and python2.4-apt? A fix (added Conflict: python-apt (<< 0.6.11) to python2.3-apt), is available as Greek0@gmx.net/python-apt--debian--0.6--patch-13 at <URL:http://greek0.net/~greek0/archives>. Sorry for the problems the missing conflict has caused. Cheers, Greek0
