Bug#480741: [Debian-olpc-devel] python-gtk: ImportError: No module named cairo

[Shaun Jackman]

reassign 480741 python2.5
thanks

Thanks, Jonas. Reinstalling the package did fix the problem. I did,
however, have to reinstall *every* python package on my system. This
one-liner might come in handy to anyone else that gets bit by the same
bug.

sudo apt-get --reinstall install $(dpkg -l `apt p python` 2>/dev/null
|awk '{if ($1 == "ii") print $2}')

I'm reassigning this bug to python2.5. Although, I have no idea which
package and which version caused the bug.

Cheers,
Shaun
