Same here. You now have both versions (core and external plugin). I 
guess you have re-installed 1.07, not 1.08.

Removing the plugin from core leaves you with the working 1.0.7 in .qgis 
and no annoying message at start.
The other way won't work: Removing the external plugin gives you the 
error message reported before.

Off course, removing both you have peace, but no Sextante ;-)

I don't know about the ubuntu file structure. Maybe you have another 
copy of Sextante somewhere else.

HTH,
