Python 2.7 update

[VastOne]

Anyone doing a recent

Code Select Expand

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

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

sudo apt-get install -f
