Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python-pygame
there seems to be various bugs with python in ubuntu. Starting with upgrading to 8.04. When configuring dpkg reports an error in configuring various python-dev packages, due to a missing file. I created an empty file with the name and it worked. The error here, is with python-pygame, when trying to configure packages that depend on this dpkg reports: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists...
