Installing the the python-gtk2 python-glade2 packages solve the problem.

I think this is a duplicate of #594229. in kubuntu 10.10, glade is still a missing dependency.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In oneiric you have to install python-glade2, python-gtk2 seems to already be installed. Here is what you get when you install it without the dependencies:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/system-config-samba", line 44, in <module>
    import mainWindow
  File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 30, in <module>
    import gtk.glade
ImportError: No module named glade

Fixed in precise (12.04). It now installs and runs without requiring me to install any dependencies.

system-config-samba (1.2.63-0ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/control: add a dependency on python-glade2 (LP: #749748)
