Debconf troubles

[flyapen]

Since yesterday i'm getting these errors when trying to install something, it seems it has something to do with python-2.5 but i'm not sure.

This is what i get when i try to reinstall debconf, its the same error i get when installing something else.
Instellen van debconf (1.5.13ubuntu1) ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/kuartetlib/ScrollPane.py ...
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/kuartetlib/ScrollPane.py", line 11
Pane.__init__(self, parent, x, y, size=[0,0], name='', border=0):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

dpkg: fout bij afhandelen van debconf (--configure):
subproces post-installation script gaf een foutwaarde 1 terug
Fouten gevonden tijdens behandelen van:
debconf
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I'm not sure what to do here, i'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out here

Re: Debconf troubles

I thing the main problem is with the python error i get, but i dont know what to do about it.

Re: Debconf troubles

i'm not sure exactly what to do. but i can tell you this just to clarify; your problem is specifically with line 11 of that file, as it says. there is something wrong with that line.
Pane.__init__(self, parent, x, y, size=[0,0], name='', border=0):

possibly the zeroes? you'd have to read up about that file. (ScrollPane.py)

Re: Debconf troubles

I've found the solution at launchpad as it seems to be a bug.
This is the solution to the problem, it seems that it's not only a python2.4 problem but also python2.5

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...ger/+bug/46784
The error is caused by the kuratet dir in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kuartetlib

I noticed that http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=32541 seems to provide it. Please remove the directory from your system and run:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

to recover fully.

I'm afraid I will have to close this bug because there is little we can do about the kuartlib failure.

Cheers,
Michael
