ValueError: plural forms expression error, maybe unbalanced parenthesis

Devede shows this and quits. Devede developers know this problem and
have issued fixed version 3.11b. Please update Ubuntu repositories with
this version. According to developers, the bug manifests only in 4
locales: EL, PL, SK and SV. Look at
http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html (scroll down to History
of versions).

The temporary fix is to uninstall devede and reinstall the fixed deb provided by the developers (the uninstall step is necessary because the fixed deb is identified as older by apt):
