Apps :: help installing python
Ok. I suspect that at one time you may run the process at user root thereby preventing the list from be writeable by user dsl.
Check for a file by the name of info.lst
Normally this file is removed unsucessful use of the extension browser. You may still have it and with not the proper permissions it would appear to still work but not get updated. Therefore no python in the list.
You can delete this file (info.lst), likely you will need root power to do so.
were do i look for this file at
Are you user 'dsl' and on the X desktop?

This is why I recommend frugal installs over traditional. Frugal can always boot into a known state. Traditional hard drive installations on any OS can suffer from system rot.
whoami = dsl
pwd = /home/dsl
ls -l info.file = ls: info.file: no such file or directory
and i tryed a frugel install and it wouldnt work for me
