Agreed, I don't think this is kde/kubuntu specific, I thought it was, but I've got a bit further ...
The bottom line is that an import statement from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError, ParserCreate is giving an ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/parsers/pyexpat.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8 Which comes down to a problem which is well understood: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/extending.html#when-importing-module-x-why-do-i-get-undefined-symbol-pyunicodeucs2 i.e: two pythons compiled with different numbers of bytes for unicode characters. But, why it's not finding the right thing within the system python (first) is the question (and what other things this might cause that we've not yet identified). -- kde applications fail due to library problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
