[Qgis-user] lost 'fetch python plugins' and vector menu

Dear partners in misery and merciful helpers,

I've got the feeling the 1.8.0-2~raring1 QGIS package from ubuntugis-unstable 
for 13.04   64bit  is broken.


Yes, I did
- purge every qgis package separately
- delete all the .qgis folders
- now also reboot and aptitude update & aptitude dist-upgrade 
  (no idea what for)
- a fresh install of the qgis package


The  old 1.8.0-1~quantal3 32bit QGIS package on another computer works
like a charm. I hope I do not have to build from source to get a working 
QGIS 1.8 on a recent Ubuntu.


Is the package really broken or did I do something utterly wrong?


cheers,
  robert
