Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-support
I'm not sure if this is a bug in python-support, but somehow on my Hardy
system there is a file named /var/lib/python-
support/python2.5/twisted/__init__.py which prevents twisted from being
importable. Using sudo to rm that file works-around the problem:
