    Problem with wrong version of python-minimal

    Hi,

    When I try to install anything using the "apt-get install" command, I get the following error:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    python : Depends: python-minimal (= 2.7.3-0ubuntu2) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2 is to be installed

    Its a variant on a well-solved problem, but the package-manager appears to depend on Python, so I don't know if I can just remove python-minimal and replace it.

    I just ran apt-get check. It says this:
    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    python : Depends: python-minimal (= 2.7.3-0ubuntu2) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2 is installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

    Apparently I have version 2.2, and it wants to install the same version.

    When running apt-get -f install, I get:
    Setting up python-minimal (2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2) ...
    dpkg: error processing python-minimal (--configure):
    subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    python-minimal
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    Would it help anybody to figure this out if I noted that I only see this problem through the dpkg tool? Even the "python" command itself works.
