Comment 74 for bug 272509

Thank you nerdhacker, same being a temporary solution, it helped me.

I had the same problem:

dpkg: aptoncd: problemas de dependência, mas configurando assim mesmo como pedido:
 aptoncd depende de python (<< 2.6); porém:
  Versão de python no sistema é 2.6.2-0ubuntu1.
Configurando aptoncd (0.1.98-0ubuntu4) ...

It (aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all) installs, but he is as a broken package. Then necessary to bring up to date it. Whenever necessary to use it, I have that to make everything of new.

i use jaunty 9.04, sorry my bad english[2]
