"python packages" crashed with ImportError in <module>()

Thank you for taking the time to report this crash and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular crash has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #433087, so is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

I'm not sure that this is a duplicate of #433087, because it is tagged hw-specific.
This report is generated by Apport that fail on detect a bug in update manager, crash, detect it's crash, crash, detect it's crash, crash, detect it's crash ond so on.

It'is an unbreackable loop

Tomorrow i made another test on the new rebuild to exclude that this is not a work in progress

report for
python -c 'from apport import unicode_gettext'
is nothing

Same problem on Ubuntu Desktop amd64 20100710 liveCD, with the aggravating that for Apport every program is crashed.

Same problem on Xubuntu amd64 too

dont seems the same bug #433087 because the in #603919 bug report there is many many many apport crash popup.

other thing is that we are using different versions from that bug report

I attached my crash archive. may help something

this is was the first crash. the seems to started apport crazy paranoid...

a simple apport-bug command line execution give the exceprion and call apport crash report.

Then every crash will expose the bug and the self bug call other apport crash report ind endless loop..

Getting this on 10.10 every time report a problem comes up. Apport seems to be working fine though

Crashes with lots of windows when I open Deluge BitTorrent Client (GUI written in python).

Just updated & rebooted Maverick:
Linux version 2.6.35-7-generic-pae (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.4.4 (Ubuntu 4.4.4-6ubuntu1) ) #12-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 9 22:48:27 UTC 2010

Watched several youtube videos then got multiple crashes
"applet.py closed unexpectedly" the automtically generated report gave the same title as this bug.

On post #14, the youtube screen says:
The Adobe flash player has closed unexpectedly
This is Firefox 3.6.7 as was updated today with the 2.6.35-7-generic-pae
Synaptic says flashplugin non-free Installed Version 10.1.53.64ubuntu1

Jerry

Tried linux maverick 2.6.35-6 with Firefox 3.6.7 and got similar error, "applet.py closed unexpectadly" with automatic title:
apport-gtk crashed with ImportError in <module>()
so the linux 2.6.35-7 doesn't seem to have brought the failure on.

Jerry

Also affect Ubuntu - Xubuntu 20100711

This bug is caused by a 'broken' pygobject. its not a apport bug.

This bug was fixed in the package pygobject - 2.21.4-0ubuntu3

---------------
pygobject (2.21.4-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/control: depends on gir1.0-glib-2.0 (lp: #603919)
 -- Sebastien Bacher <email address hidden> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:25:36 +0200

situation with maverick updated:
- python-gobject 2.21.4-0ubuntu3 installed when it was updated
- on every boot the crash happened at the very beginning after the session is opened
- if the first crash popup is not closed by user, then multiple other crashes happened , flooding the systray

these errors are logged and are the first generating crashes:

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)

so i doubt about python-gobject fix
