package python-virtkey 0.60.0-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I obtained this error while performing an apt-get dist-upgrade. There seems to be an issue during configure:

Setting up python-virtkey (0.60.0-0ubuntu1) ...
file does not exist: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/python_virtkey-0.60.0.egg-info

dpkg: error processing python-virtkey (--configure):

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
