There is currently a problem when upgrading Python.

It errors with:
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/python2.7-minimal_2.7.3-6+deb7u2_armhf.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So for now, do not upgrade:

python2.7
python2.7-minimal
or
libpython2.7

@belese Thanks for that - I thought I was current on problems..... obviously not.

Upgrade all packages first - excluding the python 2.7 libraries specified above.

Then from a ssh shell issue.

or just see THIS WIKI ARTICLE for the instructions to resolve the issue

Ok i updated everything after reboot pi hangs on network started screen

Hi, when it hangs, use ssh to connect to the device (for instance use putty) and continue the upgrade. Then it will boot again

Or use telnet if ssh hasn't started yet.
