I encountered the same problem when upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty. Rebooted to complete the upgrade and ran dpkg --configure -a to finish the python-xml install. Got this:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up python-xml (0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2) ... pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: Not overwriting local files: dpkg: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyXML-0.8.4.egg-info not found. pycentral pkginstall: Not overwriting local files: dpkg: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyXML-0.8.4.egg-info not found. dpkg: error processing python-xml (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: python-xml -- package python-xml 0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
