Package: python-gst0.10
Version: 0.10.17-1+b1
Severity: normal

I have set up my up to date Squeeze box to use python 2.6 as my default python using alternatives.  python-gst0.10 fails to upgrade because of it.  I want to use python 2.6 as my default.  Is there something else I need to set up to do so?

Here is the error in synaptic.
