I can confirm this with kdebase r912512 and kdelibs r912511 from SVN compiled on and up-to-date Kubuntu 8.10 machine:

Comment 2 Nille 2009-01-26 15:39:51 UTC

I can also confirm this bug with KDE 4.2 RC1 on Slackware
My error message looks the same as posted above.

Comment 3 Marco Carrai 2009-01-26 17:57:23 UTC

An important things. Plasmoid aren't corrupted. If you download them from kde-look , you can unzip them safely without errors

Comment 4 Todd 2009-03-07 17:47:12 UTC

I am having this problem as well in KDE 4.2.1 on two different computers using openSUSE 11.1.

Comment 5 Cyril Brosch 2009-03-23 13:52:24 UTC

I've just found a workaround in a Kubuntu forum:
For some reason you need not only python-plasma (in OpenSuse named python-kdebase4), but also python-dev(el), but there is no dependency indication for that in python-kde4 etc.
After I'd installed the packages, I could run the plasmoid scripts - GHNS, however, still claims there were errors - but at least it works.

Comment 6 doutor.zero 2009-04-13 02:23:27 UTC

I'm having a similar issue, but the crash stopped after a update to KDE 4.2.2, in Mandriva 2009.1 cooker (post RC2). Any widget that I try to add give me this dialog saying that the installation failed, but the widget is in fact installed.

My language in pt_BR and the problem also happens with Kubuntu Jaunty (march 10 snapshot), with KDE 4.2.2. My problem is better described in this bug below:

Thank you.
