Sorry to be so slow to respond here: I've only just begun to track down what's happening.
David,
I think this is a rather complicated situation, and it may hint at more trouble we will see in the python domain. A lot of *-py23 packages my be broken since the arrival of python24.
Anyway, I tried to install pybliographer, too, and never succeeded. At first it failed with the non-existing gnome module, too. In my case, it was because "python" resolved to /sw/bin/python, but the latter was python-2.4, and although I have pygtk-py24 and pygtk-py24-dev installed (in addition to pygtk-py23), there is no module "gnome" in python24, because there is no gnome-python-py24 package.
The next try was to revert /sw/bin/python to python-2.3 which is not quite obvious, it requires an explicit
fink install python-1:2.3.5-1
With this, the gnome module was found, but then it failed immediately with
checking for python... /sw/bin/python
checking python requirements... no
configure: error: error in python modules dependencies: No module named _recode
Now the weird thing is that there is a package that is supposed to install a _recode python module, namely
i python-bibtex 1.2.1-1 BibTeX parser and binding to GNU Recode, for python23
(maintainer dmrrsn)
Now although this says "for python23", in my case it installed its module into the python-2.4 hierarchy:
% dpkg -L python-bibtex /. /sw /sw/lib /sw/lib/python2.4 /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_bibtex.so /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_recode.so /sw/share /sw/share/doc /sw/share/doc/python-bibtex /sw/share/doc/python-bibtex/PKG-INFO /sw/share/doc/python-bibtex/README
The reason is that it uses a
CompileScript: <<
python setup.py build_ext -I %p/include -L %p/lib
python setup.py build --build-base %b
<<
which thinks that python==/sw/bin/python==python-2.3, but in reality python==/sw/bin/python==python-2.4 if you did any update-all recently.
I am sure that many other *-py23 packages are broken in the same way (I maintain some of these).
