I'm not sure which distribution you're running. [snip] > Am I correct that "db5.1-util" is kept back because it replaces > libdb5.1 which is required by python2.6 which I have installed? Output > of apt-cache can be seen below: So what depends on python2.6 that won't be satisfied with 2.7? My wheezy shows libdb5.1:i386 5.1.29-5 and jessie has libdb5.3:i386 5.3.28-9 (assuming they're related). Neither has python2.6. Cheers, David.
