Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-1
Severity: normal
I wanted to `aptitude upgrade' my system this morning, but failed:
'''
....
ValueError: /usr/bin/python does not match the python default version. It must
be reset to point to python2.5
....
'''
I think I found the reason. Several days ago, I use `update-alternative' to
configure my Python from python2.5 to python2.6; however, the upgrade script
can't figure out the Python version after I have re-pointed to python2.5 via
`update-alternative', until I manually changed the link `/usr/bin/python' to
`/usr/bin/python2.5'.
Cheers,
Kejia

These bug reports all concern the same error:
> ValueError: /usr/bin/python does not match the python default
> version. It must be reset to point to python2.5
which is raised in pyversions (note: multiple copies around).
The error is triggered by users who have taken it upon themselves to
change their python default version by altering the symlink
/usr/bin/python (either manually or using update-alternatives).
This is *not* a bug. It is a safety mechanism to guard against
users who have broken their systems.
To fix the error, repair the symlink:
# ln -sf python2.6 /usr/bin/python
where 'python2.6' is the version reported in the ValueError.
Files in /usr/bin are system managed. A user should not change
them. If you do, you have an unsupported, potentially broken system.
You can not expect the system packaged software to work with a
modified /usr/bin/python.
If you desire to use a different version yourself, please set such a
symlink in /usr/local/bin. Private scripts can then use either:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
or:
#!/usr/bin/env python
