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.
