I removed the above directory and it works fine now. It had no
problems on another machine. I think I had gnome-sudoku installed a
long time ago (but purged) and it left behind files when purged. The
version in gnome-games seems fine. This bug can be closed or
transferred to gnome-sudoku if it's considered that has a faulty
purge.

I suspect the wrong version is being run as python2.5 is wanted really
but the default is python 2.4.4 on my system.
