    Hi

    Well you can simple do a dpkg --purge --force-all python python2.3 and
    then do a apt-get -f install....this way it worked on my various
    machines...
    this way no other packages are to be removed (though they might stop
    working correctly until the python packages are reinstalled..but you
    should do it imideatly afterwards and then it works..

    yours
    Albert
