It seemed like a good idea to remove Python 2.6 to get over the Python 2.5 installation error messages – except so many packages in Kubuntu 9.04 depend on Python 2.6 that removing it automatically removes what feels like half the operating system. Almost as good as rm -Rf /. After removal I couldn’t connect to the box anymore. So I’ll apply the Windows strategy of reinstalling the complete OS now to fix this horrible mess. Thanks guys. Next time give me a warning about what you donuts consider removing a “core” package, idiots. :-/
