[ubuntu-uk] problems upgrading Ubuntu

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

" It appears to be something wrong with python, and after searching online,
lots of other users have had similar problems with python, running various
programs that depend on it. "

Do any of them actually mention a bug number? [1] That is from the
lubuntu-qa area, but it does apply to everything when it comes down to bugs
:)

Regards,

Phill.
