Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-webkitgtk

As the summary suggests, it appears that python-webkitgtk in Jaunty depends upon an earlier version of Python (2.5.something would be my guess). As a result Gwibber will not install on my box, and I bet this would cause problems with other Python apps that use webkit.

Here is the output from apt-get and dpkg when I tried to install python-webkitgtk:
