Package: python2.7-minimal Version: 2.7-9 Severity: grave Stock experimental system. python2.6 is already installed and working great. Trying to investigate [1], I hope to install python2.7:
# cupt install python2.7 [...] (Reading database ... 118078 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking python2.7-minimal (from .../python2.7-minimal_2.7-9_i386.deb) ...

Unpacking python2.7 with an explicit dpkg invocation allows the installation to continue, so all is well.
