Package: python2.6-minimal
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

While installing python2.6, which depends on python2.6-minimal, I got these 
error messages
<quote>
Unpacking python2.6-minimal (from .../python2.6-minimal_2.6.2-2_amd64.deb) ...
new installation of python2.6-minimal; /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages is a 
directory
which is expected a symlink to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages.
please find the package shipping files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and
file a bug report to ship these in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages instead
aborting installation of python2.6-minimal
dpkg: error processing

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/python2.6-minimal_2.6.2-2_amd64.deb
</quote>

And I don't quite understand as this is the first time python2.6 is being 
installed.

Regards,
ST

Hi,

in a response to a private mail submitter LUK ShunTim admitted he had
an unofficial python package installed in
  /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
and misinterpreted error messages.

I'm closing this bug. Having some 2.6 code I'm reluctant of
backporting to 2.5 I'm waiting to see 2.6 in testing ASAP.

Thanks
  Siggy
