Marked this as confirmed due to another bug report being a dup. of this one.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Is this still a problem?

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

No need to answer that i just tried it and yes its still a problem.

This is blocking upgrades from Dapper to Edgy.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

This should probably be fixed with a sync of the debian version (1.4.5-7). It fixes the pygtk.py file conflict.

[3vi1 (launchpad-net-eternaldusk)]

Definitely still blocking upgrades. I just tried to update Kubuntu to Edgy this morning and ran into this. :(

Is there a workaround? Trying different force options now but am so far unsuccessful.
