Please help me fix this. This python 2.5 problem has plagued me for so long........
Following some advice elsewhere I tried running: sudo dpkg -r --force-depends python2.5-minimal followed by sudo apt-get -f install The output is: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libqt4-opengl librpmbuild0 stardict-common debhelper intltool-debian postfix lsb-graphics lsb-desktop m4 librpmio0 librpm0 libpcmanx-core0 po-debconf ncurses-term stardict stardict-plugin-festival libmail-sendmail-perl stardict-plugin-espeak gettext libqt4-gui cvs pcmanx-gtk2 ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp lsb pax ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp stardict-gtk rpm imagemagick-doc bsd-mailx html2text libqt3-mt mailx lsb-core alien libestools1.2 libsys-hostname-long-perl stardict-plugin gnuit lsb-cxx Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following extra packages will be installed: python2.5-minimal The following NEW packages will be installed: python2.5-minimal 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 64 not upgraded. 4 not fully installed or removed.
