Hi, I'm using Debian 5.0.
I'm having problems with python packages installed with apt specifically
gtk and gobject. I'm trying to install wicd which requires these
modules. Installation was successful, but when I tried to run it , I had
an error "No module named gtk". If I look at modules in python help,
these modules are not there
I assume python-gtk2 and python-gobject are the packages associated with
these modules and I tried reinstalling these but didn't work.
I might have broken something with python-central or something, when I
was fixing a weird dependency error. It's a long story. If there's a way
to fix this problem quickly, I would really appreciate it.

It is easy to mess up a package transitioning from python-central to
python-support. You should look into your
/usr/lib/python2.?/site-packages directory. If you find broken
symlinks to /usr/share/pyshared/something, *check*twice* then remove the
said something directory and Python will find the package installed by
python-support.

I had manually deleted those site-packages directories in order to fix
an apt problem. In /usr/share/pyshared I see none of the gtk2 or
gobject files.
cd /usr/share/python-support/ I have directories for python-gtk2 and
python-gobject.
Is the easiest thing to do remove python-2.4/5 and reinstall them

Unless you already deleted something you should not have deleted,
rm -r /usr/share/pyshared/something
rm -r /usr/lib/python-2.?/site-packages/something
should be enough to solve your problem.
If that doesn't work, purging packages and reinstalling is probably
the easiest thing to do.

I was describing a way to fix an installation broken by a package that
did not do the right thing when migrating from central to support.
I was not recommending this as the Right Thing to do in all cases.
In my case, running 'pycentral pkgremove something' by hand failed to
fix the situation once the package with broken upgrade path was
installed.
