Package: python2.6-minimal
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: renders package unusable
After an upgrade a number of days ago, problems apparently with python2.6
minimal installing. I cannot use 'Add/Remove Applications' & probably other
problems, not to mention using upgrade manager. Please advise solution... I
checked this bug in the report bug web site, & do not understand the alleged
"solution" proposed. The following is from my terminal (Thanks):
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python2.6: Depends: python2.6-minimal (= 2.6.4-5) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
