Hi all,
I have just put python-2.6.2-1 into [testing]. This remove the python-2.5 compatibility sitepath so anything not rebuilt since python-2.6 was release will be broken. The list of broken packages as of yesterday is in FS#13831 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13831?getfile=3375).
Note that these don't need built against the python in [testing] to be fix, just rebuilt against an python-2.6 package.
While you're updating python, could you also link /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so to the path where libpython2.6.a is located inside the package? I did this in my build chroots, and it causes applications to link dynamic instead of static against the python library. Without this, inkscape won't even link to libpython at all.
