Failure to upgrade from sugar-toolkit to python-sugar-toolkit

Steven, were you upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid?

Try this: sudo apt-get remove sugar-toolkit

Then if python-sugar-toolkit didn't get installed in the process, install it now:

sudo apt-get install python-sugar-toolkit

Make sure you now have the appropriate sugar packages installed:

sudo apt-get install sugar sugar-activities

Please report whether that fixed it for you and then we can fix the packages appropriately.
