installing ubuntuone-file-storage-api seems to solve this Problem... At least now I don't get this error anymore. Maybe missing dependency?

ok was too fast. :P
After the installation of ubuntuone-file-storage-api new error then:

Thanks for your bug report and help to make ubuntu better.

I think that your issue is linked to a desktopcouch one. That's what I planned to rewrap the experience from start in the oneiric cycle so that we start to use the review system backend to make a way better oneconf experience.

This bug was fixed in the package oneconf - 0.2

---------------
oneconf (0.2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New release:
    - move from desktopcouch to a json cache file base version, build a
      server/client protocol based on ubuntu-webcatalog (server part will be
      oneline soon). (LP: #720498, #715514, #748517)
    - adapt to latest software-center in oneiric
    - harden a lot regards to bug handling timeouts and such
      (LP: #616463, #625554, #804768, #594394)
    - optimize startup time with json and don't wait on server side sync
      (LP: #638142, #780651)
    - adapt now with ubuntu sso and triggers the login dialog on fresh
      install (LP: #674537, #708187)
  * debian/control, debian/rules:
    - we really don't depend on desktopcouch now
    - deps on ubuntu-sso-client now
    - transition to dh_python2
    - remove other deprecated deps
    - bump Standards-Version

It would be nice to have this bug fixed in current stable Ubuntu version - 11.04 (Natty).
Maybe oneconf 0.2 can be installed and used to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)?
