I´ve cleaned up(complete remove and install again) all direct dependent
packages of epigrass, but it keeps at console:

epigrass
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/epigrass", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2672,
in <module>
    working_set.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 654, in
require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 552, in
resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: distribute



Point3: Under Education there is no entry of epigrass on my system.

Point2: ->??? Sorry, but I´am not sure what you mean -> I reside mainly
on openSUSE, so is this a debian specifica or a education missing of mine?

And with "start in GNOME" I mean mouse clicking on the desktop menu, not
console. All trough menu: applications->science -> whatever application

And yes in the future I will be careful  with "grave". -> Thank you for
the hint-> as I wrote: I´am not so familiar with the debian ecosystem.
