Look at the path: /usr/local. Nothing in Debian installs things in /usr/local. You installed Python in the non-debian way, and it's interfering with your debian-installed python software. Remove it, and software will be happy again. This is the same reason the compileall -q wasn't working. -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi!
