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.
  idle: Depends: python (= 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3) but 2.5.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

1) this problem also occurs when trying to install python-all, python-dev and other packages from the same source-package

2) as for "idle", shouldn't a dependency on idle-python2.5 be added ? Even if the dependencies weren't broken "apt-get install idle" wouldn't install idle.

Thanks !

this works for me; please remove feisty-backports, and remove all python related packages installed via feisty-backports, then try again.
