Hi Tpc,

This is starting to turn more into a Debian question than a Python one.
*grin* I would talk with other debian folks about your sources.list: I
don't think that the security package set is very effective when you're
running unstable...

Because Debian "unstable" is even more unstable than Debian "testing", I
wouldn't be surprised that it, too, has the profiler separate from the
main Python package:

    http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python2.3-profiler

Hotshot requires that the profiler be installed, so apt-get it, and see if
things start to work again.

Yes, all of that looks normal.  I'm pretty sure that the error message
that you're getting is ultimately due to Debian's package policy.


Best of wishes to you!
