[chandler-users] problem installing chandler desktop on gutsy

[Matt South]

I tried to install chandler desktop for the first time today on Ubuntu Gutsy.  The deb file (Chandler_linux_0.7.4.1-1_i386.deb) that I downloaded from (http://downloads.osafoundation.org/chandler/releases/0.7.4.1/#enduserlinux) did not install with dpkg. I saw missing dependencies: 
python-setuptools
python-zopeinterface
python-configobj
python-docutils
I was not able to install these dependencies using apt (there seemed to be a circular dependency involving python-roman) however I was able to install these dependencies using the synaptic package manager.  After this the Chandler install seemed to work.   But I am now unable to run chandler (command not found) at the command line and if I go to the /usr/local/chandler directory and try and run it directly (at least I guess this is how it could work) I receive the following messages:

xxxx at xxxxxxx:/usr/local/chandler$ python Chandler.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Chandler.py", line 21, in <module>
    from application import Globals, Utility
  File "/usr/local/chandler/application/Globals.py", line 24, in <module>
    from application.Utility import initDefaults
  File "/usr/local/chandler/application/Utility.py", line 20, in <module>
    import i18n, schema, itertools
  File "/usr/local/chandler/i18n/__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
    from i18nmanager import I18nManager, I18nException
  File "/usr/local/chandler/i18n/i18nmanager.py", line 17, in <module>
    from egg_translations import EggTranslations, hasCountryCode, stripCountryCode
ImportError: No module named egg_translations

This looks a lot like a previous dev issue: http://lists.osafoundation.org/archives/chandler-dev/200712.mbox/%3c11CEF012-CB90-49DB-A747-75DDE2560201@osafoundation.org%3e
but I don't understand the advice given - I'm not a python developer.  Can anyone offer any install advice?  From synaptic's history I note that python got automatically updated yesterday - perhaps this has something to do with my issue?
