I encountered the same problem when I tried to re-install eric 4.3.6 after upgrading ibex to jaunty. For some reason the python-qscintilla2 package was present before the upgrade, but not present after the upgrade. All I needed to do to fix the problem was to use Synaptic to install the python-scintilla package and try to do the install again.
Attached are the "selections" from dpkg from the ibex system before the upgrade, and from the jaunty system after getting eric 4.3.6 to install. Also attached is the log of the reinstall of eric. By the way, the eric dpkg in the repository is way out of date. Eric recognizes that a more recent version is available, but the official one needs to be uninstalled and you need to go behind Synaptic's back to get the current version and install it. Life with Ubuntu should be better than that.
