When I try to run QGIS, I get the following errors at startup:
An error occured during execution of following code:

After this, QGIS starts up. I then get a similar error message when I try to open up the Python console or plugins menu.
I've tried apt-get purge qgis and then re-installing it with apt-get install qgis -f. But I get the following error messages when trying to purge/install:

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

Obviously, the problem seems related to Python, but I can't figure out how to diagnose what is wrong here. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this, or ideas about other places to look for clues as to what is happening? Thanks.
