Meld depends on python-gtk2, so this shouldn't happen.  Do you have
$PYTHONPATH set?

FWIW; I've tested meld on Etch and current Lenny and it starts w/o problems.

notfound 494850 1.1.3-1.2 1.1.5.1-2
thanks

Hi,

as this bug is reproducable neither on etch nor lenny nor sid and the
reporter did not answer for a week and a half after the initial
maintainer response, I do think we should close the bug.

Kind regards

T.
