No, I switched to 2.7 months ago and it has worked fine since then. I noticed
that python 2.7.2 also got installed yesterday, but reverting to 2.7.1-r1 does
not change the behavior or the message.
python-updater only complains about libreoffice-bin and emul-linux-x86-baselibs,
probably because they contain their own binary copies of some non-2.7 python
stuff.

I actually meant "reboot" above where I wrote "restart".

Cheers,
