Cannot install; depends on python 2.6 or less but 2.6.1 is installed

Thank you for your bug report.

Confirmed.

Hello this issue is present with sabnzbdplus available in the UBUNTU universe repository. Using the external jcfp external repository does not help either.

This was work of yesterdays updates.

razor1394@leonis:~$ sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

Några paket kunde inte installeras. Det kan betyda att du har begärt
en omöjlig situation eller, om du använder den instabila utgåvan
att några nödvändiga paket ännu inte har skapats eller flyttats
ut från "Incoming".
Följande information kan vara till hjälp för att lösa situationen:

Följande paket har beroenden som inte kan tillfredsställas:
  sabnzbdplus: Beroende av: python (< 2.6) men 2.6.1-0ubuntu1 kommer att installeras
               Beroende av: python-cheetah (>= 2.0.1) men det kommer inte att installeras
               Rekommenderar: python-yenc (>= 0.3) men det kommer inte att installeras
E: Trasiga paket

sabnzbdplus needs patching but maybe it can be solved temporarily with python regression?

I tried installing it with `dpkg -i --force-depends`, but then it doesn't run, giving the error:

 $ picard

     File "/usr/bin/picard", line 2, in <module>

 OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/_usr_bin_picard.1000.crash'

 Original exception was:

... so it seems that it really does require changes :)

After updates, My mythvideo was gone...

Others features like, mythstrem, imdb.pl etc are not gone, but do not work... my assuption is that require XML Parsing...

Updates where done in the folowing order:
apt-get update .... success
apt-get upgrade.... success

My other box without updates is working fine...

Picard itself needs fixing for the Python 2.6 transition.

This bug was fixed in the package picard - 0.11-1ubuntu2

---------------
picard (0.11-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add --install-layout=deb and rebuild for Python 2.6 transition
    (LP: #335914)

python-xml is a separate problem from picard I thought?

Yes. Picard is fixed.

Can someone fix this.

Please don't assign bugs to Debian teams such as DPMT.

This bug was fixed in the package python-xml - 0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2

---------------
python-xml (0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
     - Add --install-layout=deb, don't hardcode "site-packages" and rebuild
       for the Python 2.6 transition (LP: #335914).
  * test/dom/html/test_map.py,
    xml/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py,
    xml/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py:
      - Replace all instances of "as" (as a variable) with "as1", as the former
        has become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6.
