Bug Description

Cannot run Plone's bin/builldout on Ubuntu 8.10 - gnome-menus seem to break it. Error output:

...
While:
  Installing.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):

datakid is correct, and the bug he/she references fixes the problem. The root fault:

* buildout uses python modules from /usr/share/pyshared
* In 8.10, for some reason, /usr/share/pyshared/GMenuSimpleEditor does not exist so the softlinks fail.

As the referenced bug report states, a complete module exists in /usr/share/python-support/python-gmenu/GMenuSImpleEditor so link it into the pyshared area area

sudo ln -s /usr/share/python-support/python-gmenu/GMenuSimpleEditor/ /usr/share/pyshared/

buildout runs to completion after that.

On my system this seems to be an issue with 8.10 (Ibex) Ubuntu python installation changes OR with some dead soft links after 8.04->8.10 upgrade (which is more likely).

I think another solution would be to reinstall python 2.4.
