I'm now having this same problem with GDebi. It doesn't appear to be
related to the packages themselves, as it is occurring with every
package I've tried it with, some of which GDebi previously worked for
without issue. I tried running gdebi-kde from the terminal and got this
output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdebi-kde
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not 
stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gdebi-kde", line 54, in <module>
    from GDebi.GDebiKDE import GDebiKDE
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/GDebi/GDebiKDE.py", line 34, in 
<module>
    from kparts import konsolePart,TerminalInterface
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/kparts.so: undefined symbol: 
_ZN11konsolePart8setPtyFdEi

I reinstalled the packages for gdebi-kde and python-kde3 (the package
containing the kparts.so file in question), and am still having the same
problem. This isn't really a huge deal for me personally, as I usually
just install foreign packages with "sudo dpkg -i packagename && sudo
apt-get install -f," but most people, especially Linux newcomers, don't
want to have to do this.
