[Bug 878062] Re: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 cannot open shared object file

[Marshall Davis]

After reading your post, Phillip, not sure if this will give you any
more info, but:

Using 12.10 beta 1 desktop amd64 
Used unetbootin to write to USB 
Machine has UEFI and SSD - fresh install
Install failed during grub-efi install (already a reported and known issue)
Mounted and chrooted into new installation to fix grub efi installation
After reboot, no gparted in dash, so I opened terminal, sudo -s, received similar output to below:

root at ubuwks:~# gparted
The program 'gparted' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install gparted
root at ubuwks:~# apt-get install gparted
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
gparted is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.

At this point, I tried 
which gparted
with no result, 
find / -name gparted
showed a few language and doc files in /usr/share
Did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
Removed and reinstalled gparted, then received:
root at ubuwks:~# gparted
/usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tried:
root at ubuwks:~# apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.

Used:
root at ubuwks:~# aptitude reinstall libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
  libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.

Gparted now works and shows in dash
