Mintupdate broken: No module named cairo

[Davecov]

Cairo is in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/

Code: Select all

Murray dist-packages # mintupdate
Murray dist-packages # No module named cairo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/mintUpdate.py", line 59, in <module>
    gettext.install("mintupdate", "/usr/share/linuxmint/locale")
NameError: name 'gettext' is not defined


Obviously cairo isn't where mintupdate is expecting to find it...

Thanks for the patronising post.

I have indeed searched these forums using various search phrases with the word "cairo" but haven't seen anything that looks like it would solve my problem.
