Hi Mike,
Been away for a few days and am just working my way through the mail :)
I scanned further through the posts here but didn't see an answer. Did
anyone reply to you about this problem?
Thanks for chasing up my email and making the enquiry about if it was answered.
I did manage to fix it with some more googling. Here is the answer for people.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322857 suggested:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-uno.prerm
sudo apt-get remove python-uno
sudo apt-get install python-uno
and this site https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-central/+bug/95792
suggested to modify /usr/bin/pycentral line 700 from
default_runtime.remove_byte_code(self.private_files)
to
self.default_runtime.remove_byte_code(self.private_files)
I did the pycentral modification and it worked. The update/upgrade then worked
fine.

Hi all
I have this problem which is stopping me from installing anything new.
System is Debian stable on a Dell.
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-uno: Depends: openoffice.org-core (= 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch2) but
2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So I tried the force option:
$ sudo apt-get -f upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
python-uno
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/358kB of archives.
After unpacking 131kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

I can't remove python-uno as openoffice-writer depends on it.
I notice that it's trying to use python2.3 when I have python2.3, 2.4
and 2.5 installed.
In /etc/alternatives/ I have python -> /usr/bin/python2.4
I'm a bit lost on how to proceed.
