Please try the following "sudo aptitude purge scim;sudo aptitude install scim". Aptitude may ask you to deinstall a couple of packages alongside scim. A couple of packages should be OK. If it wants to deinstall half the system, abort. If it wants to deinstall any packages called ubuntu* or *desktop or something like that, abort.
