Could it be a regression of this old/fixed bug?

The referenced offending file is different (now "GrampsWidgets.py"
instead "statusbar.py") but the error looks the same.
Greetings,
That didn't solve my problem directly, but it did trigger a thought.
Based on the manpage for sources.list ("with the most preferred source
listed first"), I actually believed that the order of lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list mattered, and since I had unstable listed first, I
thought my system was running unstable for the most part.
But this triggered thought sent me on a tangent, which led me to the
page at
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.conectiva.apt-rpm/2003-11/msg00043.html which
said (among other things):
...no matter what's in apt.conf.d, placed there by packages or
whatever. Sources.list currently behaves exactly the opposite vs
sources.list.d - I think the rule of least surprise should be followed
here, instead of trying to change all documentation and brainwash
users to forget about /etc/apt/sources.list :)"
So I tinkered around in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, and found the "local" file,
which had:
we...@westek:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d$ cat local
APT::Default-Release "lenny";
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
I changed "lenny" to "unstable", ran aptitude update and aptitude
install gramps, and now gramps works.
Dare I do a dist-upgrade now?
Yep, think I'm gonna try it.
Thanks!
