Thanks Pidsley,

updated the upgrade warning application.
The temporary solutions are (from lean to fat)

* wait a few days and delay dist-upgrades (recommended)
* before dist-upgrade, set python2.7 on hold (as root: echo python2.7 hold | dpkg --set-selections)
* add experimental to the sources.list, for example in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bbq.list add the line

Code: Select all

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main
and run an update && dist-upgrade

Good luck everyone (by the way, the methods are tested and work)

Hello

I chose to wait.
It seems to be ok now. upg is working... no warning about libpython2.7
