I can confirm this bug.
The problem appears after upgrading to jaunty alpha-5.

I can confirm this bug.

Also if you try to run it with python2.5:

$ python2.5 /usr/bin/checkbox-gtk
  File "/usr/bin/checkbox-gtk", line 3
    export CHECKBOX_DATA=${CHECKBOX_DATA:-/var/lib/checkbox}
                       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Graeme, /usr/bin/checkbox-gtk is a shell script calling the python programm, so it can't be run with python. Running the command that the shellscript runs with python 2.5 give the following:

~$ python2.5 /usr/share/checkbox/run /usr/share/checkbox/configs/checkbox-gtk.ini
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/checkbox/run", line 30, in <module>
    from checkbox.application import ApplicationManager
ImportError: No module named checkbox.application

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

I am marking as "triaged", since it has all the information needed to work on it.

[David Murphy (schwuk)]

Checkbox in Jaunty has been upgraded to 0.7 which addresses several issues with Python 2.6. Please can you all retest with the latest package to see if the problem has been resolved?

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

It now works on Jaunty as it should. There I am closing the bug.

Sorry for the long delay, I have been away.
Just finished updating the system and this works fine now.
Thanks for the fix.

Kind Regards,

As commented on the mail for this bug, this is working now. Thanks for the bug fix.

I am using the beta with all upgrades and I get a similar error. (Should I file a new bug?)
