Well, near as I can tell from your question, you have some python component missing, and some program needs it.
Anyway, Python is a coding language. Like Perl, Ruby, C, C++, Qt, etc. Python is one of those languages that, as I understand it, doesn't need to be compiled to run, so long as you have the requisite interpreter stuff installed. Python isn't really a 'program', it's the coding language, and the requisite 'libraries' that the language uses to translate the human-readable lines of code into stuff to actually execute.
Most likely, you have some sort of dependency problem - meaning, you're trying to install a program that requires Python, but doesn't specify Python as it's dependency, or the right Python package isn't in the repository, or some bug is occuring preventing the proper Python packages from downloading, etc.
In order to get actually useful help though, you need to tell us what specifically you're trying to install, and what kind of error messages you're getting.

apt-get install python2.5-qt4-common
I have its status "install ok installed", the version is 4.7.5-maemo1
What software asks for out-of-date python package?

apparently (i could be wrong) there is an incorrect version of python or something for that file in extras testing (search for the swappolube thread - Saturn posted something about this). This needs to be fixed in the repositories (or you can downgrade yourself).

Upon further inspection - apparently somehow something pulled in the sip and common packages from devel into stable (wasn't me), which is very bad. Will notify Niels to fix this.
