Anyone doing a recent
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
will get an update of python to 2.7.3-4 and will most likely see a bug report and an error after updating which in turn will halt the apt process
All you need to do to correct it is to run:
sudo apt-get install -f
This will clear the error and allow python to update correctly and apt to clear
I have been running the new version of python for several days with no issues
Done - thanks.
That's the python version I'm running since yesterday when I ran smxi.
I don't remember seeing a bug report, that doesn't mean I didn't just hit y (I usually do unless smxi says not to) and go on.
It upgraded my kernel to 3.7.0-10.dmz.1 also and I haven't experienced any problems. :)
I ran into exactly this last last night when I updated but thought it was cuz I had spaced it and not updated in like 4 weeks ;D
sudo apt-get install -f
fixed it for me also. Thanks VastOne
