This is from the changelog in gnome-python-extras:

gnome-python-extras (2.25.3-4.1ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Drop python-gtkhtml2 package and libgtkhtml2-dev build dependency, so that
    we can drop the obsolete gtkhtml2 from main.

[Ali Afshar (aafshar)]

PIDA should not depend on gtkhtml2 package. How would I go about getting that false dependency removed?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package eikazo - 0.5.2-6ubuntu1

---------------
eikazo (0.5.2-6ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Remove obsolete python-gtkhtml2 from Depends (LP: #538773)
  * Eikazo/Help.py: Quick inline patch to stop crashing due to python-gtkhtml2
    removal. This doesn't fix any crashes when the user tries to open up help
    but allows the app to run. Will talk to upstream about fixing this properly.
 -- David Futcher <email address hidden> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:09:02 +0100

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package pida - 0.5.1-5.1ubuntu1

  * debian/control:
    - Remove dependency on obsolete python-gtkhtml2 (LP: #538773)
    - Replace gvim dependency with vim-gtk as gvim no longer exists in Ubuntu
    - Add emcas as an alternative dependecy to vim-gtk (LP: #504754)
    - Add ${misc:Depends} to Depends to placate lintian
  * debian/compat: Update to compatibility level 7 as 4 is pretty old
  * debian/rules: Remove obsolete call to dh_desktop

[Iván Pérez (ivan.perez-keera.es)]

I'm still getting this in Lucid (1 day before the final release).

I think bug #123582 is related to this one (as it's the one that introduced
that dependency), but that was a long time ago, things
may have changed a lot in two years.

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

True, I can still confirm it for these packages:

$ grep-aptavail -F"Depends" -F"Recommends" -F"Suggests" -sPackage
python-gtkhtml2

Package: foomatic-gui
Package: gnochm
Package: lekhonee-gnome

The problem is that some packages appear to really depend on
python-gtkhtml2, so they need a code patch to be clear. :)

[Ben Shadwick (benshadwick)]

gnochm cannot be installed from the Ubuntu 10.04 package manager. I get the following error:

gnochm:
 Depends: python-gtkhtml2 but it is not installable

Why is there a package in the repository that can't be installed? Is there a workaround?

[Tim Hawes (trhawes)]

Blogtk depends on this as well.

Is that annoying or what?!

[Ben Shadwick (benshadwick)]

Reported by multiple people (see comments).

[Ben Shadwick (benshadwick)]

Added blogtk to the affected list and marked it as confirmed.

[David (gtcodave)]

I'm very new to the whole launchpad scene. So i hope my copy+paste from console (above post) was enough to support this as a bug.

But the curious part of me wants a blogger, a better ubuntu and wants to know if there's a work-around / fix for this issue?

[v1nsai (v1nsai)]

I solved this by downloading python-gtkhtml2 from the debian repos.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/python-gtkhtml2

[Kwacka (kwacka2)]

Thanks for the link v1nsai, it worked for me.

apt-get install gnochm gave

Ok, I found python-gtkhtml2 at this link:

Navigate to the bottom of the page for the "download" section.

[maurya777 (maurya777)]

Installed successfully after the Deb package reffered by Savvas Radevic, Thanks Savvas.

Blogtk still doesn't work (installed today):

Downloading python-gtkhtml2 and installing it (thanks to Savvas Radevic wrote on 2010-06-13) fixed this problem.
