hi...i am trying to install python 2.6 on my debian system..
I followed the following instructions http://www.fps-gamer.net/installing-python-2-6-on-debian-lenny/
on doing aptitude install -t testing python-central
i get
E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header
can any body pls reason out:(
Reproduced from www.serverfault.com:
Python 2.6 isn't available in lenny, you need to add either the testing (haven't tried this) or unstable (which is currently sid).
$ sudo apt-get install python2.6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package python2.6
Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list so that it looks similar to this:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
# so we can get latest packages
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main
Next, run apt-get update then run apt-get install python2.6. To run it, the command is python2.6 (or you can obviously create a symlink if you want it to be default).
I'm not sure if this is the best way, but it works well. I welcome others to suggest a better approach

You should be using your package manager to install these things. Installing from your package manager will satisfy these dependency problems you're having.
If you have a gnome desktop, open the menu System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and search packages containing snmp.
