This Bug also affects Ubuntu 9.04 (AMD64).

Got the same Problem and reportet it under https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgtkada2/+bug/413979 and marked it as a duplicate since I was to lazy to search before xD

[Christoph Dibak (chris-freizeitblogger)]

Since /usr/bin/gdialog is only a link to /usr/bin/gdialog2 I've delted the link and put some postinst script to create the link if /usr/bin/gdialog doesn't allready exists.

I think it should fix the problem. But it's my first fixed debian archive... so... just have a look at it before useing :)
