The joy of a rushed python upgrade

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Here’s what you get when your python maintainer is too busy working on Ubuntu, unwilling to team maintain the thing in Debian, and finally rushes an upgrade :


dpkg: error processing python2.4 (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
zsh: abort sudo apt-get -f install

Not happy at all. Even the modular X.org transition went better than this. Oh, and CUPS is b0rked too. Less than 6 months before our target release date for Etch, this really doesn’t sound too good.
