Bug#628783: Fails to start: assert gtk.pygtk_version >= pygtkver

[Bálint Réczey]

Hi Bruce,

I tried to reproduce the problem on a freshly installed Wheezy system
and on a fully updated Sid system without success.
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0 is there and meld works fine.
I think the problem went away.

Cheers,
Balint
