Rhythmbox can't load some plugins

[Victhor]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

This bug has been found on ubuntu 10.10, rhythmbox package version is 0.13.1-0ubuntu6

I tried to enable the "album art" plugin in rhythmbox, but it displays a message saying it couldn't be loaded. In the terminal, I get this:
(rhythmbox:11864): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not import gettext
ImportError: ./gettext.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: unable to load module as python runtime could not be initialized

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not load plugin artdisplay

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'Album art'

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: unable to load module as python runtime could not be initialized

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not load plugin artdisplay

(rhythmbox:11864): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'Album art'

This also happens with most other plugins on the list, all of them being default from ubuntu's version of rhythmbox, not third party plugins.

thank you for your bug report, "ImportError: ./gettext.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid" seems a local installation or a corrupted installation issue, not an ubuntu bug though

Well, I tried the solution described in http://community.livejournal.com/ubuntu_users/411194.html?thread=2896442#t2896442, but I can't seem to find local installations using the method described there. This bug happened to me in 10.04, I think even before that, I just forgot to report it back then.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 beta (amd64) and Rhythmbox 2.90.1~20110802-0ubuntu2. I have the same problem.
Rhythmbox can't load some plugins. For example Lyrics.
I tried to reinstall the Rhythmbox and the plugins, but the promlem stayed.

In terminal:
