Ah, so you probably ran the version in intrepid. Looking at

  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/shogun-python-modular

I see that it is ancient -- I am not suprised that it did not work --
Debian is several releases ahead:

  http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=shogun-python-modular

If you need shogun, you should upgrade using some backport --
unfortunately I have none at hand. If you do not need shogun, simply
deinstall it.

HTH,

Michael
