Or uninstall python-khashmir. The bittorrent people made it themselves 
easier by providing python-khashmir inside the bittorrent package. Which 
is nice for the users that download it from the website, as they only have 
to download 1 file.

But that's not very good packaging, as no other package can depend on 
python-khashmir.
