So the original sip module mismatch was apparently fixed in

kdebindings (4:4.3.2-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Rebuild for Sip 4.9
  * Use python-support, now required by python-qt4 4.6

But it seems this or the previous version also broke module loading entirely now:

$ python -c 'import PyKDE4.kdecore'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named kdecore

The file is there, though:

$ dpkg -L python-kde4|grep kdecore.so
/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/PyKDE4/kdecore.so

OK, I'm one step further. This package recently switched from pycentral to pysupport (argh, not a good idea so close to the release!), and misses to manually do the cleanup which dh_pycentral would have done for you. At least it leaves behind

  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyKDE4/__init__.pyc

After removing this, jockey-kde works again, and python -c 'import PyKDE4.kdecore' works again, but apport-kde now hangs without bringing up any UI.

Jonathan, any idea what's wrong here? The __init__.pyc cleanup seems easy enough (in preinst), but I have no idea about the hang.

This was fixed for karmic final. Thanks for your report!
