Package: python2.3
Version: 2.3.5-15
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I installed etch using the daily netinst snapshot and a retarded mirror, and 
now i'm syncing with the recent 
packages. Python 2.4 refuses to install itself because some python-gnome 
librairies complain about pyversions 
missing. Maybe it's the gnome python thing that's broken, I don't know. Maybe 
the problem is with 2.4 too... 

Here is the nasty apt output:

Preparing to replace python 2.3.5-5 (using .../python_2.4.3-11_all.deb) ...
running python pre-rtupdate hooks for python2.4...

dpkg: no, cannot remove python (--auto-deconfigure will help):

 /var/cache/apt/archives/python-minimal_2.4.3-11_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I fixed this with a nasty --force:

dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/python-minimal_2.4.3-11_all.deb 
/var/cache/apt/archives/python_2.4.3-11_all.deb

Any idea?
