Bug#374195: --force-remove-reinstreq



(note: I have no idea what I'm doing!)

Edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.4.prerm to start with:

exit 0

Then:

$ sudo dpkg --remove  --force-remove-reinstreq python2.4
python2.4-gnome2  python2.4-glade2  python2.4-cairo python2.4-pyorbit
python2.4-gtk2 python2.4-dbus  hal-device-manager python2.4-libxml2

$ sudo apt-get install -f

After this, I was able to use APT again. Well, it actually says:

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-fuse_2.5-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/fuse.py', which
is also in package python2.3-fuse
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-fuse_2.5-3_i386.deb

but I feel I'm back on familiar territory now! Use at own risk!
