package inkscape 0.48.4-3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Not sure why I get system error pop-up box dialogs. Something seems wrong in the python installation in the back end of apt/dpkg scripts. I do not think it is an inkscape issue, it is a deb package issue. I get similar errors associated with bluefish-data.

Yes, something is broken on your system, probably an interrupted installation of something or somesuch. I recommend you contact user support.
