Public bug reported: Hi,
I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx. I was long time waiting for 23rd Aug 2012 for directly upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04.01 LTS. As my internet link is very slow, i spent several hours [almost 1.5 days] and downloaded all the packages [859 MB of download] using the update-manager tool. I was very disaapointed to see the same problem that is being discussed here - SystemError: E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python-minimal' I dont want spend any more time downloading all the packages again and try to upgrade again. Can some one please tell me how to fix the problem with minimal effort? also when i tried solution mentioned in - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/990740?comments=all Following happens- kirti@kirtis-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false --reinstall python-minimal Reading package lists...
