This appears to be a problem arising from when python-setuptools is installed as a dependancy. I don't know why this should be (I don't understand the inner workings of the deb format particularly well. Steps to reproduce- Install a package which requires python-setuptools (In my case, this was the current release of Deluge), where the system does not have this package installed.
Fixing it- Very simple fix actually- sudo dpkg -r python-setuptools && apt-get install python-setuptools Cheers -- package python-setuptools 0.6c8-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: pycentral pkginstall: not overwriting local files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
