Package: python2.6-minimal Severity: normal Hi,
Using Debian Lenny, Squeeze, SID. I have been having problems with python2.6 minimal after an update the other morning... I know it is a reported bug... I do not really understand the proposed resolution of this problem... I believe it has some thing to do with compiz... (?). I would appreciate as plain of an English reply as possible (technical terms are OK, I just need specific directions where important terms are defined, or at least referenced to links that may define). Thanks. (below is the report after I try to do an 'apt-get update' etc.). sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for henry: Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 _Lenny_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1
