Hello all, I am actually trying to upgrade a Debian Squeeze 6.0 Xen Dom0 to a Debian Wheezy 7.0 Xen Dom0. The upgrade worked well until the installation of python2.7. I think there is a bigger problem in the packages.
I am getting the following apt/aptitude error: aptitude install -f The following NEW packages will be installed: python2.7-minimal The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: python2.7 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/1,783 kB of archives. After unpacking 5,591 kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Y (Reading database ... 78072 files and directories currently installed.)

Trying to recover: So I tried to figure out which package could make problems but I wasn't able to find one. My version of Xen is self compiled 4.2.1, I also running a self compiled Linux kernel actually version 3.8. I am actually not able to install all packages which need to be upgraded because of the python issue. Is there a way to figure out which packages could be the reason for the problems or can I workaround this issue? I tried a few different things like completely purge python and so on but nothing helped. My sources.list looks like this: #deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib #deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' #deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib #deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib #deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib #deb-src http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib Would be great when someone could help me. Best Regards P.S. Sorry for my bed english.
