python configuration problems

[ivan.pavlov at gmail.com]

I am running Debian/Linux unstable. Trying to upgrade packages
depending on python (via aptitude) has started to give errors and
leaves all packeges unconfigured. When I run dpkg --configure pyhton2.3
the following errors occur.

Any advice on what to do?
