[Ubuntu] Re: Thuban is crap get it out of the repo or fix it

[Alex Mandel]

The likely fix is:
sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6 libwxgtk2.6

Chances are Thuban didn't include the libraries as a required
dependency, and the default install of Ubuntu now use 2.8.
But there is no problem with installing multiple versions.
