The other directories which might contain csrf.py are: $ dpkg -L python-django|grep csrf /usr/share/pyshared/django/middleware/csrf.py /usr/share/pyshared/django/views/csrf.py /usr/share/pyshared/django/views/decorators/csrf.py /usr/share/pyshared/django/contrib/flatpages/tests/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/middleware/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/views/decorators/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/flatpages/tests/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/middleware/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/views/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/views/decorators/csrf.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/flatpages/tests/csrf.py Does one of those directories point back to /usr/share/pyshared/django/middleware by mistake ? (Note that it might be an ancestor directory involved too) Did you setup some symlinks to replace one of those directories ? Does it fail again if you retry the upgrade?
