NB: I was able to fix the problem by manually installing the python files.
following some adivce that I ran into on the web
sudo apt-get install python2.5
sudo apt-get install python2.6.4
After doing this a sudo apt-get upgrade completed
I have seen similar reports elsewhere of upgrades failing because of python dependencies not being in place so I suspect that this is a too common event worth fixing.
