(note: I have no idea what I'm doing!) Edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.4.prerm to start with:
exit 0 Then: $ sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python2.4 python2.4-gnome2 python2.4-glade2 python2.4-cairo python2.4-pyorbit python2.4-gtk2 python2.4-dbus hal-device-manager python2.4-libxml2 $ sudo apt-get install -f After this, I was able to use APT again. Well, it actually says: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-fuse_2.5-3_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/fuse.py', which is also in package python2.3-fuse Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/python-fuse_2.5-3_i386.deb but I feel I'm back on familiar territory now!
