See the recent mail to debian-devel (python installation error) or
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/06/msg00191.html

A workaround is to install python-central from incoming.debian.org:
http://incoming.debian.org/python-central_0.4.17_all.deb

Subject: python2.x/python-central postinst error fixed

Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 11:17:26 +0200

Version: 0.4.17

see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/06/msg00706.html
as workaround, please install from the archive:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-central/python-central_0.4.17_all.deb

in case the upgrade from 0.4.16 fails, unpack the new version first.
dpkg --unpack python-central_0.4.17_all.deb
