Package: python2.3-vte
Version: 1:0.12.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

The gdebi-gtk graphical package installer will quit after being granted 
administrative privileges. If you run it in a terminal, it complains of 
a missing "python reaper" extension. I attached a patch from Ubuntu 
that, when the python2.3-vte package is built with it, it fixes the problem.
