I think, i found the solution: the python2.2 package creates the 
python2.2-xmlbase package.  With the last Security Update of python2.2 
the dependency does'nt match, because the python2.2 come  from the 
securty archive and the python2.2-xmlbase from the universe. I does'nt 
know, that there is also a Security Universe archive is available.  I 
changed the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted

to

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted 
universe

and now the right package can be retrieved:

Get:3 http://security.ubuntu.com warty-security/universe 
python2.2-xmlbase 2.2.3-10ubuntu0.1

In the past, i had the same problems with krb5-config (universe)  and 
libkrb53 (main).
