pycentral crashed with IOError in read_pyfiles()

[Yang]

Binary package hint: python-central

I saw an error related to python2.4-minimal at the end of the upgrade procedure (during the "Clean Up" phase). I didn't get a chance to copy/paste that message since the modal error dialogs blocked me until the windows closed all of themselves. I think this error caused the upgrade process to prematurely exit.

Then after rebooting and letting the Update Manager update packages (there was just prboom), I see an error message box about python2.4-minimal...followed by error messages about a number of other packages (memcheck, pycentral, npviewer.bin, PDF Editor, ...), including the error being reported here. These errors came up repeatedly many times (for the same packages).

I've attached my /var/log/dist-upgrade/.
