I was directed here automatically by your script. I was performing an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and ended up here. I don't know anything else other than that.

Thanks for your report.

The error is :
=====

pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: not overwriting local files
pycentral pkginstall: not overwriting local files
dpkg: error processing python-imaging (--configure):

affecting to python-imaging

Did you install a previous version of python-imaging by hand ?

[Chris Rossi (chris-christophermrossi)]

Possibly. I don't recall, exactly. PIL is in site-packages for both
/usr/lib/python2.4 and /usr/lib/python2.5 but I can't remember at this
stage how I got it there.
