Editra shows up in the Ubuntu Software Center in Karmic. Is this bug fixed?

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

I don't see it on the package lists, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=editra, where exactly do you see it?

[Peter Magnusson (kmpm)]

If you install wx you actually get editra as well but it isn't working
Fails with "ImportError: No module named ebmlib"

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

FYI, the error "ImportError: No module named ebmlib" is also discussed in Bug #470378

I just made a package of Editra 0.5.15 and put in in my PPA.

Since editra is included in python-wxgtk2.8 and it's icons and .desktop file in python-wxtools I had to add that it breaks python-wxtools since it tries to overwrite those files in wxtools.
