Python

I did an apt-get for a package I didn't hav (python-gtk2) and it got a bunch
of packages but after the download reported a 'grave' bug with one of the
downloads [libgtk2.0-bin (-> 2.6.2-4)] . I once downloaded something and got
a grave bug and the package I was upgrading wouldn't run after the install;
so instead of blithly typing 'y <enter>' I will ask what you think I should
do. I investigated the help page <?> and it says if I type 'i <bug number>'
it will 'make the bug_number... ignored'. That is kind of ambiguous. Does it
mean the package will not be installed? I also investigated 'man dpkg' and
'man apt' and 'man apt-get' but those didn't help.

Another issue I just noticed with this package is that it is not an upgraded
package but rather a newly installed package. I am thinking that this means
if I am correct in thinking that package will not be installed it will not
work until I get it w/o the grave error. It would mean a much smaller
download if it installs everything else.

Any advice is quite welcome!
