Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

Since around 2007-01-12, deskbar in feisty doesn't start:

Running installed deskbar, using [/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar:$PYTHONPATH]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet", line 30, in ?
    import deskbar, deskbar.DeskbarApplet, deskbar.defs
ImportError: No module named deskbar

It seems to want to use python 2.5. A possible solution is thus to force it to use python2.5:
- #!/usr/bin/env python
+ #!/usr/bin/env python2.5

Does this still happen? We had some kind of python transition going on? My fully updated feisty works fine now.
