Ubuntu install problems

I have 2.5 (for GAE), 2.6 (Ubuntu default), and 3.1 installed.
Whenever I apt-get install anything It ends with a series of python
(dependency?) errors. Anybody got any idea?

It looks like apt-get is supposed to be using 2.6 or 2.5, but somehow is
running 3.1 instead.

If you run "python -V", what does it say?

[snip]
In Python 2 an exception can be raised with the old-style:

raise Error, "nothing to do"

or the new-style:

raise Error("nothing to do")

In Python 3 the old style is not supported (it was abandoned as part of
the general clean-up).

Another related change is that the old-style:

except Error, e:

in Python 2 has been completely replaced by the new-style:

except Error as e:

in Python 3 (also available in Python 2.6).

So I put this up to the Ubuntu (lunchpad, apt) community support
board: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+quest...

Possible bug with the python-central package (Ubuntu x86 9.10)?? dunno.
