Comment 1 for bug 156031

I'm now having this same problem with GDebi. It doesn't appear to be related to the packages themselves, as it is occurring with every package I've tried it with, some of which GDebi previously worked for without issue. I tried running gdebi-kde from the terminal and got this output:

mike@mikes-laptop:~$ gdebi-kde
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi-kde", line 54, in <module>
    from GDebi.GDebiKDE import GDebiKDE
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/GDebiKDE.py", line 34, in <module>
    from kparts import konsolePart,TerminalInterface
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/kparts.so: undefined symbol: _ZN11konsolePart8setPtyFdEi

I reinstalled the packages for gdebi-kde and python-kde3 (the package containing the kparts.so file in question), and am still having the same problem. This isn't really a huge deal for me personally, as I usually just install foreign packages with "sudo dpkg -i packagename && sudo apt-get install -f," but most people, especially Linux newcomers, don't want to have to do this.
