Ok the specific issue with Obmenu I have fixed by fixing an xml file, however when I install pypanel it adds the following:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypanel

it should do:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pypanel

This was a mOLOk's package.
I've adopted it erroneously.
Please leave me from "Assigned To".

Please, remove me from "Assigned To" field.
Thanks.

In /var/lib I have two folders python2.4 & python2.5 so it would appear that I have 2 versions of python. If I rename python2.4 to something else then python scripts break.

If this has happened because there is a bug in pacman when python was upgraded, then I think it needs fixing.

If it is however because of dependencies (or something else) then please close this bug.
