On my first try, I installed turbogears using synaptic from ubuntu repositories.
tg-admin info gave that error.

Then I uninstalled TG (again using Synaptic - I am no commandline guru :-)
and installed exactly following TG docs using easy_install.
No luck either - same bug.

Possibly you might be right that some old version of RuleDispatch was in hiding.
When I researched the error message after second failure,
I found thread and suggested solution. I removed
RuleDispatch from all directories - I found 2 instances and 2 symlinks, 4 total.
I have note (at home) with exact locations - IIRC 2 symlinks were from /var/
I removed all four and tried easy_install again - but no luck again.

So even after RuleDispatch egg was fully removed, easy_install fetched
wrong win32 version again.

I saved log that last time, but I have it at computer at home.
I can post it later if necessary.

IIRC it said something like "guessing version or RuleDispatch to install"
and it guessed win32 version - which is obviously wrong for a Linux box.

I did fresh Feisty install - just for this project. I only added
couple of ubuntu packages,
like midnight commander, IDLE, SPE.

As I said first version of RuleDispatch installed straight from Ubuntu
repositories
was failing: "long integer" error in tg-admin info

The version recommended by thread

http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/ab9c0d80140eeb4b?hl=en

it is dev version:

easy_install 
http://files.turbogears.org/eggs/RuleDispatch-0.5a0.dev_r2306-py2.5-linux-i686.egg

I used easy_install, not tginstall. I missed tginstall somehow :-)

Is tginstall "smarter" than easy_install?
Is tginstall preferred over easy-install?

I will be doing new TG install on Ubuntu in about 2 weeks for a friend.
I can try whatever way needs more testing and report results.

To make it easier for the next guy :-)

Sorry I did not provided more diligent admin feedback - but I am
application developer,
waay far from half-expert admin, like many other recent converts. :-)
