Welcome to gPodder hangs, gives Python traceback

[jimav]

Binary package hint: gpodder

When started for the first time, gpodder pops up a "Welcome to gPodder" screen with two buttons, labeled
    "Choose from a list of example podcasts" and
    "Download my subscriptions from my.gpodder.org".

Clicking either button does not seem to do anything, except that the Cancel button thereafter is disabled
(you can click Cancel immediately then the Welcome dialog goes away).

I tried killing the process and restarting, and got the same behavior (it's not a first-time-only problem).

Also, gpodder immediately prints the following on the terminal (before any user action):

Creating new from file gPodder
Creating new from file gPodderWelcome
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gpodder/gui.py", line 5105, in on_show_example_podcasts

Hmm, does "Fixed Rleased" mean I should see gpodder 2.2 in Ubuntu 9.10 ?

After doing a system update, I have version 0.16.1-1

You have to add the gPodder PPA from http://gpodder.org/ to your
software sources to get gPodder 2.2.

HTH.
