[GRASS-user] 7.8.1 on Ubuntu 18.04

Hello,

after recent update on November 11th my grass installation stopped 
working. I can get to grass shell without gui, but can't start anything. 
It alway looks like this:

➜  ~ g.gui wxpython
Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 105, in OnInit

     from wx import NewIdRef as NewId
ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef'
OnInit returned false, exiting...

I tried reinstalling grass from grass-devel and ubuntugis-unstable PPAs 
to same result. I also tried compiling from source, with no success so far.

Hope to solve this, as I realy loved working with grass 6.4.x couple 
years ago.

Cheers,

Pavel
