Bug Description

A heads up binary package python-gtk-1.2 has a dependency issue on Edgy. It held up python-gnome and python-gdk binary from being configured.

I have just recently removed the package as it appears it was not actually needed on my system.

Maybe not exactly a Dep Issue perhaps more of a conflict...

the new version doesn't use alternative and the issue should be fixed now, feel free to reopen if you still get it though
