Package: python2.7-minimal
Version: 2.7-9
Severity: grave
Stock experimental system. python2.6 is already installed and
working great. Trying to investigate [1], I hope to install python2.7:
# cupt install python2.7
[...]
(Reading database ... 118078 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking python2.7-minimal (from .../python2.7-minimal_2.7-9_i386.deb) ...

IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open

dpkg: error processing python2.7-minimal (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Indeed, there is no /usr/lib/python2.7/config directory. Unpacking
python2.7 with an explicit dpkg invocation allows the installation to
continue, so all is well.
