Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.6-8
Severity: normal

With the latest upgrade to 2.6.6-8 of python2.6 I get the following error in 
the 
postinstall script:
============================================
Setting up python2.6 (2.6.6-8) ...
Sorry: TypeError: ('compile() expected string without null bytes',)dpkg: error

Errors were encountered while processing:

 libpython2.6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
============================================

After that it tries it again and fails again, leaving those packages in an 
unconfigured state.
Trying to downgrade those packages also fails, since it appears aptitude wants 
to configure 
those packages first, which, as described earlier, fails.
