I got bit by this when I did a dist-upgrade today, and didn't notice
that lots of gnome stuff was getting automatically uninstalled. Was able
to re-install python-gnome2 and then basic gnome things after manually
installing python-gnome2 with dpkg --force-all, and then
editing /var/lib/dpkg/status to remove the dependency on python2.6-gtk2
for python-gnome2. (Or something like that--I'm no longer sure I did it
in that exact order.) The strange thing is that on the Debian packages
page for python-gnome2, this dependency doesn't appear, but my dpkg
system did register it. Hope this helps.
