Please provide a clear "do this and then this" sequence to fix a trashed Intrepid->Jaunty upgrade. For example, while there's mention of an out of date python central control file causing this problem it would be nice if someone could write:
 * in file /etc/blat/blat.conf
 * add/common/delete the following lines
 * run apt-get install python-central
or whatever. Please remember that what is second nature for you, the python maintainers, is black magic for many of us who just assume python runs.

Because the upgrade is currently so broken I'm assuming sequences of update/dist-upgrade can't untangle, and, so far this morning, that's been the case. If this should work, but just not for X hours/days/? until changes percolate through the mirrors I'd appreciate a simple "please hold tight till Saturday morning (or whatever) and then let a standard aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade fix it." --- Thanks.
