Well, I'll try to be polite, but if you could actually take the time to read...
- This bug is not caused by the apt.wxwidgets.org version, it was solve by using it, but that repository has nothing to do with this bug report!
- I get this problem when upgrading from gutsy, as well as a clean hardy install. When I say clean, I mean clean: out of the box, direct from a 8.04 live CD installed and apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8.
- Please unpack the .deb, e.g. from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python-wxgtk2.8, you will see there that it's simply not there, "postinst":

update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth wx.pth \
                              /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth 28

Now YOU point me where it is linking /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx.pth to something.

By the way, postinst is using "/bin/sh" as shell, which for me is /bin/dash, but that does not seem related.
