[Bug 968589] [NEW] package python2.6 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/python2.6/pydoc_topics.py'

[maki]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 beta2 and have this problem with all
applications that use python

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpython2.6 : Depends: python2.6 (= 2.6.7-4ubuntu2) but 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 is to be installed
