Bug#533839: pitivi fails to start: ImportError: No module named instance

[Jamie McClelland]

Package: pitivi
Version: 0.13.1-1
Severity: important


When I try to run pitivi I get:

0 jamie at liberace:~$ PITIVI_DEBUG=*:5 GST_DEBUG=2 /usr/bin/pitivi 
0:00:00.079449809  6324  0x9b93d30 WARN              pyplugin gstpythonplugin.c:343:plugin_init: Couldn't g_module_open libpython. Reason: /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  File "/usr/lib/pitivi/python/pitivi/check.py", line 32, in <module>
    from pitivi.instance import PiTiVi
ImportError: No module named instance
1 jamie at liberace:~$

I then noticed that there is no /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so, so I type:

0 jamie at liberace:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so
0 jamie at liberace:~$

And now I get:

0 jamie at liberace:~$ PITIVI_DEBUG=*:5 GST_DEBUG=2 /usr/bin/pitivi 
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Element'
