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.

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
