Found a fix. Reinstalling the package worked.

 apt-get -reinstall install ...

Thank you for your report.

This looks like it was a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu.

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this was really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this was a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
