Might add that I had the same problem with Ubuntu 11.10 on the same machine, though the issue with pygobject was lacking.
Tried running the install without the network; no effect.
Didn't check into the alternate installer.
To further add insult to injury I loaded up a Lubuntu 11.10 VM on my Windoze machine at work. No such problems. That being said, I'm thinking that this problem is specifically plaguing the PPC version of 11.10.
