I use Edgy and was fed up with this message. So I edited the pre-removal script of python 2.3: sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.3.prerm
And commented out the line that said something like: pycentral rtremove python2.3 Don't really remember the exact line, but it worked for uninstalling python2.3: sudo dpkg -P python2.3 Hope it helps... -- Removing python2.3 does not work... rtremove error https://launchpad.net/bugs/56438 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
