Package: python-minimal Version: 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 Severity: important The upgrade from lenny to squeeze aborted with an error. It looks like a python package is changing the link /usr/bin/python to python2.6 before /usr/bin/python2.6 is installed. /usr/bin/python is part of python-minimal, so I file the bug against this package. Be free to reassign the bug if it's not the right one.
