The problem was fixed by manually upgrading the package python:any; then installing both alacarte 3.9.91-1 and the latest alacarte 3.10.0-1 worked properly, where before both had given this error.
This was confusing because the installed python2.6 is above this version already: ii python2.6 2.6.8-1.1 i386 ii python2.6-dev 2.6.8-1.1 i386 ii python2.6-doc 2.6.8-1.1 all ii python2.6-examples 2.6.8-1.1 all ii python2.6-minimal 2.6.8-1.1 i386 Perhaps adding a dependency on python:any version 2.7.5-5 or greater would avoid this installation problem? thanks, --jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
