Just installed Xubuntu 12.10, on first apt-get update and upgrade I got Could not import runpy module and all installs seem to stop there.

E.g. sudo apt-get --reinstall install python gives the following

[...]
running python rtupdate hooks for python3.2...
Could not import runpy module

All help in solving this is very much appreciated. matti

This is a bug that still not fixed yet. see Bug #1024016 . Maybe you can try this way in #31 floor or apt-get remove python3 and wait until the bug is fixed.
