If you look at the output of your apt-cache policy commands it shows: ,---- | python: | Installed: 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 | Candidate: 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 | Version table: | *** 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 0 | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 2.6.6-2ubuntu1 0 | 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages `---- That means, version 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 is installed, while in the main archive is only version 2.6.6-2ubuntu1 is available. It doesn't know a repository with your version, so that's why it says /var/lib/dpkg/status in it's output. That means, either you have temporarily enabled another repository and installed python from their or you must have used something like dpkg directly to install that version. I would recommend downgrading to the version in the official repository to avoid trouble with updates later. > But, still is there any way I could tell vim to use python2.7 instead > of 2.6? Possibly by installing a python-dev package that contains the development libraries for version 2.7 from some repository. I don't know, whether there exists one (backports maybe?) Alternatively wait for 11.04 which will contain a 2.7 version of python. It's only about 6 weeks or so until natty will be released (you could already upgrade, if you dare ;) regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
