Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-numpy

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
python-numpy:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:1.3.0-3
  Version table:
     1:1.3.0-3 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
I expected Synaptic to successfully install python-numpy. But instead, it reported and exit status 1 when it tried to configure the package after installation.

Complications: I had previously installed and uninstalled python-numpy. Then I installed:
python-numarray:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.5.2-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
     1.5.2-4ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
So python-numarray was installed at the time that the installation of python-numpy failed.
Now I had uninstalled both python-numarray and python-numpy.
