I was describing a way to fix an installation broken by a package that did not do the right thing when migrating from central to support. I was not recommending this as the Right Thing to do in all cases. In my case, running 'pycentral pkgremove something' by hand failed to fix the situation once the package with broken upgrade path was installed. -- Nicolas Chauvat logilab.fr - services en informatique scientifique et gestion de connaissances -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
