Ah, but you got too much. Now you have Perl, Python, the SSL library and all
those other things with a newer version than those in karmic. That is all
right now, but it means that if e.g. a security update comes out for the
versions in karmic, you won't get it automatically because the version of
the package you have is higher than that of the update. I advised you to
avoid this situation... but now that you've already done it, it would be a
good idea to restore the squeeze sources.list line at least as a comment and
occasionally uncomment it and apt-get install the above package list - which
will pick up any upgrades - and the comment it back. A switch to newer
Ubuntu (lucid) could get all those packages to an upgradable situation, too.
