Version: 3.09-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

While testing the installation of all packages in unstable, I ran
into the following problem:

> Reading package lists...
> Building dependency tree...
> Reading state information...
> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
> python3-minimal python3.1 libyaml-0-2 file mime-support python3
> python3.1-minimal libssl0.9.8 libsqlite3-0 libmagic1
> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
> The following packages will be REMOVED:
> python3-yaml
> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
> After this operation, 516kB disk space will be freed.
> (Reading database ... 10797 files and directories currently installed.)
> Removing python3-yaml ...
> Usage: py3clean [-V VERSION] [-p PACKAGE | DIR_OR_FILE]
> 
> dpkg: error processing python3-yaml (--remove):
> subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
> Errors were encountered while processing:
> python3-yaml
> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The full build log is available from:
 http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2010/07/31/python3-yaml.log

It is reproducible by installing your package in a clean chroot, using
the debconf Noninteractive frontend, and priority: critical.

This test was carried out using about 50 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000
platform.  Internet was not accessible from the nodes.
