I probably did something really stupid, but don't know how to recover.
This was all done from an ssh window to the device.
I wanted to upgrade to python 2.5, and did an apt-get install of
python 2.5, but then, when trying to run a simple app, I got
-----------------
File "nw.py", line 2, in <module>
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
-----------------
so then I tried to install what I though might be missing...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python2.5-runtime: Depends: python2.5-hildon (>= 0.8.7-1osso1) but
it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I then tried to install hildon-libs0, being one of the dependencies -
but I used "upgrade", not install
