Exact same problem on Fedora 10 (fresh install + all updates, sugar-jhbuild from git, on a VirtualBox VM) All components build successfully, but final result is not usable.

[shanghaiscott]

Install jukeboxactivity.py to /opt/olpc/git/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Jukebox.activity/jukeboxactivity.py.

Searching through all the source code pulled down by sugar-jhbuild, there are only two places where the error message "cannot import name Container from gtk" appears:

sugar-toolkit/src/sugar/_sugarext.c:1266: "cannot import name Container from gtk");

hippo-canvas/hippo.c:6226: "cannot import name Container from gtk");

I was successful running sugar via sugar_jhbuild on F10. I did not have some F10 packages installed and even though sugar_jhbuild completed successfully it didn't work. My mistake was thinking that sugar-jhbuild was updating itself and the build would fail if I was missing some new dependency. The build would go fine, it just wouldn't work! I added in the "deps" (+) below, deleted my local sugar-jhbuild repo, and cloned it again. Then it worked.

dfarning:
Cannot reproduce on Ubuntu Jaunty using Python 2.5, so closing (as obsolete since Jaunty now uses Python 2.6 by default). If it still happens for you, please reopen.

shanghaiscott:
The Fedora dependencies list in sugar-jhbuild has been updated according to your diff (most of them already were listed).
If you got the time, it would be great if you could check whether "./sugar-jhbuild depscheck" lists all required packages on a fresh installation of Fedora, as I didn't manage to install F10 in a VM (hangs on the bootloader step).
In case anything is missing, please  file a bug against sugar-jhbuild.

[sayamindu]

This just happened to me in Rawhide. I noticed that we are installing pygobject in the jhbuild install directory, and running make uninstall in the pygobject directory fixed the issue for me. Is pygobject required ? I believe the version of pygobject we are installing is somewhat older than what Rawhide, etc ship with, which is probably triggering the issue.

Can't we use the pygobject shipped by the distros ?

[sascha_silbe]

sayamindu, you're seeing a different bug. We're already using the distro version of python-gobject on all supported distros.
What most likely happened is that your machine, like my VM, recently decided to call itself "Fedora 10.93 / leonidas" instead of "Fedora Rawhide". Since we didn't have configs for 10.93, sugar-jhbuild pulled in everything from source instead of the distro packages..
Please prune sugar-jhbuild/install and try again. If you still have trouble, please open a new bug.
