Hi, There is a serious bug in Wheezy that breaks the upgrade of python2.7. Every person that tries to upgrade python2.7 from version 2.7.3-6 to 2.7.3-6+deb7u2, will have the following error: -- Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 193624 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libpython2.7 2.7.3-6 (using ..../libpython2.7_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_amd64.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libpython2.7: libpython2.7 depends on python2.7 (= 2.7.3-6+deb7u2); however: Version of python2.7 on system is 2.7.3-6. -- According to the PTS[0], version 2.7.3-6 was accepted in Wheezy at some point around January-2013, which (theoretically) means that every person that installed Wheezy 7.0 (May-2013) and updates today, is affected by this error. As explained in bug #702005, this is originated because some files were moved from python2.7-minimal to python2.7 but the corresponding "Replaces" field was omitted. The bug is currently fixed for testing and unstable with the upload of version 2.7.3-8, but it has not been backported yet to stable. I have attached a patch with the fix, which i have cherry-picked from the maintainer's launchpad[1]. Many thanks to Ian Jackson, who has kindly guided me through this process and also has offered to sponsor my upload. Best regards, Luis.
