Lars, Thank you for the piuparts reports. I'll rectify the first problem with the wrong python version in a postinst (#356764), of course. However, I'm not so sure about the report above. The current "quixote" package does not contain any scripts. So, I think that pipuparts is trying to upgrade from the monolithic quixote-2.3 package to the new split 2.4 (quixote (stub)/python2.3-quixote/python2.4-quixote). I wonder if you agree and what action should I take if that's the case. Maybe I should add a Replaces: quixote (<< 2.4) field to the debian/control file entries for python2.3-quixote and python2.4-quixote?
