Anyone use EasyUbuntu successfully?

[M. T. Young]

I know this a long post, but I wanted to provide all the info up front 
so maybe someone can help me get this working.

I haven't been able to get EasyUbuntu to install. This is a fresh 
re-install with only Thunderbird added.

The first time (on a previous install) I tried the download and double 
click method. I'd already installed a number of things like Gstreamer 
before I found out about EasyUbuntu, so I thought that might be a 
problem. After I'd made a number of changes I decided to start over with 
a fresh installation from the LiveCD.

This time I tried the command line method.
I pasted this into the terminal.
--------------------------

wget http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/files/easyubuntu-3.023.tar.gz
tar -zxf easyubuntu-3.023.tar.gz
cd easyubuntu
sudo python easyubuntu.in

It responds with this:
--------------------------

--------------------------
The EasyUbuntu GUI window opens and I pick everything except the Nvidia 
and ATI drivers, and click OK
--------------------------
Downloading begins, then the error message:
--------------------------
Could not apply changes!
Fix broken packages first.
--------------------------
I click OK, Then this is added to the Terminal session.
--------------------------

'-o=dir::etc=./conf', '-o=dir::etc::sourcelist=sources.list']

Then the window easyubuntu.in opens with these contents.

--------------------------
After this I look to see if anything was installed.
7-Zip doesn't appear anywhere under the Applications window and there's 
no folder in the user directory.
Firefox won't view Flash.
In Open Office some of the fonts are present, but others aren't.

Can anyone offer any help?

TIA
