Bug Description

Since yesterday, every time I try to dist-upgrade a jaunty installation. It wants to install python3.0-minimal package. The problem is because of python3-minimal package.

onkar@iBook:~$ apt-cache show python3-minimal | grep Essential
Essential: yes

Considering that python3 packages are in universe, this is wrong. Please fix this.

This bug was fixed in the package python3-defaults - 3.0.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
python3-defaults (3.0.1-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Make idle3 run with /usr/bin/python3, not /usr/bin/python.
    (LP: #336381)
  * Remove Essential: yes from python3-minimal, and reduce the Priority of
    python3 and python3-minimal to optional. (LP: #330613)
