[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu 1210 problems need to roll back to previous version

[Adrianna Pińska]

OK, so try installing the dependency from the repositories using apt:

sudo apt-get install python-glade2

(dpkg doesn't install dependencies by default).  After that, try
installing the deb again.  You may get another dependency error for
libglade2-0, but apt might install that for you automatically if
python-glade2 depends on it.  If you do get the error, install that as
well (sudo apt-get install libglade2-0) and try to install the deb
again.

If you get an error when you try to install python-glade2, paste it for us.
