Package: python-xml Version: 0.8.4-6 Severity: minor I suspect that, if this is a bug at all, some other package (like python-central) may be the ultimate cause. Feel free to reclassify. Also note the error message is only a warning.
I have a testing/etch system with many old versions of python and zope on it. I track the updates pretty regularly, and had just done a dist-upgrade. 2 packages (python-xml and xbel-utils) were held back. I then removed python2.3 and its dependencies (though 2.2 remains on my system). I then did a dist-upgrade which produced the warning shown in the subject line: # apt-get -q dist-upgrade; date Reading package lists... Building dependency tree...
