Hi Peoples,

Wondering whether you could advise me as to why this is happening. I
have tried reconfiguring, configuring, purging, removing, reinstalling
to NO avail.

Have you tried apt-get auotremove as it suggests? Do you get the same
error?
What about if you try using aptitude instead of apt-get, it is
sometimes smarter then apt-get.
If none of these help then state what version your using (stable,
testing, unstable, experimental).

You seem to have some residual files from a local python-axiom
installation in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/axiom/benchmarks/.
Pycentral can only create the necessary symlinks to the files in
/usr/share/pyshared/axiom/benchmarks/ if you remove these local files
first or if you set overwrite-local in /etc/python/debian_config. The
the FILES section of "man pycentral" has further information.
