[apport] gdebi-gtk crashed with ImportError in <module>()

The latest version is 0.2ubuntu6. Please update and see if your problem remains.

Same happens to me, but the weird thing is that after updating & upgrading my version it's 0.2ubuntu2

Thanks for your bugreport.

I fixed this problem in my local tree and it will be part of the next upload.

I have the same problem in Gdebi 0.2.4ubuntu1 :(

@Manuel Martín Salvador:
can you please run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and let me know if that fixes the issue for you?

I just discovered that my gdebi is broken as well. Same error as above. "sudo dpkg --configure -a" doesn't resolve it.

Actaully, my output is somewhat different:

qhartman@qhartman-x:~/Desktop$ gdebi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi", line 35, in <module>
    from GDebi.GDebiCli import GDebiCli
ImportError: No module named GDebi.GDebiCli
qhartman@qhartman-x:~/Desktop$

And for gdebi-gtk:

qhartman@qhartman-x:~/Desktop$ gdebi-gtk
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi-gtk", line 31, in <module>
    from GDebi.GDebi import GDebi
ImportError: No module named GDebi.GDebi

Ok, got this partly fixed in my Feisty install. If I change the "GDebi" symlink in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages so that is points to gdebi-core, the command-line gdebi works, but the GTK one is still broken.

So:

root@qhartman-x:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages# rm GDebi
root@qhartman-x:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages# ln -s /usr/share/pycentral/gdebi-core/site-packages/GDebi/ GDebi

is what I did to fix the command-line tool... This is surely the wrong thing to do, but it got me halfway there.

@Q Hartman: Can you please check what /usr/bin/python points to?
$ ls -l /usr/bin/python

I assume it points to python2.5 . When I run an interactive interpreter via
"python" it tells me it's 2.5. I will double-check when I get in to the
office.

Yup, python2.5. It ocurred to me that the rest of the problem could be fixed
with a couple more symlinks, but I'm still sure that's not the "right" way
to fix it. FWIW, I also removed and re-installed gdebi, and
dpkg-reconfigure'd it with no improvement in behavior.

If /usr/bin/python ponts to the right python version I currently do not know whats wrong. I suspect python-central and reassign (sounds like Bug #75557)

FWIW, I tried the fix attached to bug #75557 with no success. Is there some information I can provide you to make troubleshooting this easier? I don't know enough about Python internals to really even have a guess at a "correct" fix beyond changing symlinks around to force modules to import correctly.

I haven't been able to recreate this problem in Feisty or Gutsy. Assuming fixed. If you still see this problem Justin, please change the status appropriately.

Fixed: Problem is the python version. I had set /usr/bin/python to python2.5 on ubuntu 9.10 and then i get this error to.
If I set back /usr/bin/python to python2.6 (the default on ubuntu 9.10) then gdebi runs ok.
