Broken package python2.5, problem when update

[SpintroniK]

Hello,

I've a probleme when I try to upgrade my xubuntu 7.10 gutsy.
Python 2.5 seems to be broken so tried 'apt-get install -f' and I got the following :

EDIT : Now it works, I've just removed this folder : /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload

Thanks a lot.
