Binary package hint: gnome-applets
The postinstall script for gnome-applets version 2.16.1-0ubuntu4 contains a compileall.py
directive which tries to compile /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/py-0.8.0_alpha2-py2.4.egg/py/test/testing/data/syntax_error.py
among others.
However, 'syntax_error.py' is test function designed to be malformed, invalid python (and thus uncompilable).
Workaround I used was to temporarily comment out the one line in syntax_error.py. Temporarily moving it somewhere else would also probably work.
Output of apt-get install

This is on Edgy Eft.
