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.

Are you user 'dsl' and on the X desktop?
Open a shell window from menu or icon.
Type

whoami

Next type:

pwd

Next type:

ls -l info.file

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.
