Good... because prefix installs that aren't /usr could be interesting,
depending on the Python configuration and some other things. Either way,
this should be fine.

It's quite odd that you're seeing this only on the installed version.
You're not missing a dependency (or at least, there have been no new
dependencies added recently). That suggests to me that some of our .py
files aren't actually being installed (which they definitely are, according
to the setup script).

If you could check whether the contents of the
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/' folder actually match the
repo versions then that would be great. Also, I don't know what your setup
is, but if you have another version of Meld installed from packages in
/usr/lib/... or similar then that would explain this. If none of those show
up a problem then I'm not sure what's going on.

cheers,
Kai
