Missin ORBit in python, Lucid

[Jean-Philippe Menil]

Binary package hint: gajim

gajim don't start in Lucid:

menil-jp@menil-jp-laptop:~$ gajim
ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gajim.py", line 3694, in <module>
    cli.set_restart_command(len(argv), argv)

It look python related:

menil-jp@menil-jp-laptop:~$ python

Confusing:
Two systems running lucid lynx, upgraded yesterday from karmic koala. On the one system gajim runs, on the other one it does not with the above error message.

According to http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/5222 it's a python problem.

'aptitude reinstall python-pyorbit' did it for me, perhaps it also helps in your case.

Thanks, it's working now!
However, i'm pretty sure to have desintall and reinstall this packet.
Many thanks, i think we can close this ticket.
