Package: python-olpc-datastore Version: 0.82.1-2 I just tried to install suger related packages my old sid chroot, and ran into a problem with the upgrade. The messages make me believe the python version in the chroot is too old for the source of python-olpc-datastore. I got python version 2.5.2-3 installed. I suspect this issue might affect other partial upgrades too. Upgrading python now to see if the problem go away.
