Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please run:
$ sudo -s
# export PYCENTRAL=debug
# dpkg --configure -a

and attach the output :)

This might be a local install issue or a misleading error message from python-central. I move this to python-central until its clear what the issue is.

affects:	python-docutils (Ubuntu) → python-central (Ubuntu)
Changed in python-central (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Incomplete
