gnome-app-install doesn't work. Python errors.

These are tracebrack messages (Somethings are spanish, which is my ubuntu language).
It starts and the interface is shown, but no applications are shown and the
mouse is always in waiting state.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can't reproduce the problem here on my breezy system. Please update to the
current version of gnome-app-install in breezy. That should fix your problem.

Well, I have try to backported the package, but it didn't work, so I have
donwloaded the breezy package and installed it in hoary.
The problem is the same:

Could be it a locale problem.

I have reinstall my hoary a week ago.
Before reinstalling the problem was there.
I reinstall and it worked in a clean install.
When I installed some applications (including backported repository packages)
the gnome-app-install stoped working again.

I will ask in ubuntu-es list to try to find more people with the same
problem.(In reply to comment #0)

The problem is probably that the backports did install a new python-xdg package
and that package is not compatible with the version in hoary. The breezy package
should work. IIRC some people fixed gnome-app-install for the backports
repository, you may find something in the ubuntuforums.org.

I'll close the bug here because we can't support all possible combinations of
stable/unstable/backports. I hope you find a solution to that problem in the
forums though :)
