[Andreas Mohr]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37295

Affects: gedit (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Hello,

yet another of my Dapper bugs (now 6 or so):

gedit seems to work IIRC, but displays the following:

$ gedit
ImportError: could not import gtksourceview
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/modelines.py", line 24, in ?
    class ModelinePlugin(gedit.Plugin):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Plugin'

** (gedit:4300): WARNING **: Could not load python module modelines

Dapper Flight 6, current as of last Sunday

gedit 2.14.1-0ubuntu1
gedit-common 2.14.1-0ubuntu1
python2.4 2.4.2-1ubuntu3
libgtksourceview1.0-0 1.6.0-0ubuntu1

NOTE that this is an ex-Knoppix ex-Debian ex-Breezy now-Dapper system
(ooooh the pain!!), so it might actually be something not properly
handled by the upgrade mechanisms...

Thanks!
