Broken upgrade to Lenny
 
I just tried to upgrade my server to Lenny and it broke a bit into the upgrade.

Here's some clues to what may be wrong:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-egenix-mxdatetime: Depends: python (< 2.5) but 2.5.2-3 is to be installed
Depends: python-egenix-mxtools but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

(I have a hosted server at iWeb and that's why they are hosting their own mirror. I believe that should not be a problem, though)

Try apt-get clean
dpkg-reconfigure locales
then apt-get update, apt-get install apt dpkg , apt-get dist-upgrade

If none of that works you might consider trying to use a different mirror.

"dpkg-reconfigure locales" fixed the locale troubles. The python problem was solved with adding "local-overwrite=1" to /etc/python/debian_config

:)

Only problem now is to get all the old trac plugins to work with python 2.5, it was the trac plugins that broke the update since they had been messing around in /usr and dpkg didn't like that I guess.
