Hello again :) Ubuntu 10.04 recently reached End Of Life April 30, 2015. (See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases)
I am curious whether you are still able to reproduce this issue on a more recent Ubuntu release and/or whether you found out any more about what might have caused it. I was not able to reproduce it at the time, and I cannot see any duplicate bug reports for it now. Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find. ** Changed in: pylint (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499867 Title: package is uninstallable on Ubuntu 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pylint/+bug/499867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
