That is BTW the one that I have backported to Jaunty. You can just apt-get 
source it after adding the karmic sources to the sources.list. Pull in with 
apt-get build-dep the build dependencies, and build the package with dpkg-
buildpackage.

Maybe that solves the issue already. I could imagine that the VPython package 
depends on something, that in turn pulls in something else. And you may have 
some dependencies satisfied, but not subsequent deps ... I am not running a 
vanilla Jaunty here, so there may have been some slightly off libraries or 
versions my Jaunty package was compiled against.

As you said, this way I'm running and debugging the upcoming Ubuntu releases 
packages already. So far they seemed very well done by the maintainer.
