Solution 1
sudo mv /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10/ /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10_bad
Solution 2
Remove gstreamer
Open Synaptic Package Manager and search for “python-gst0.10″. Select the python-gst0.10 package, then click Package > Force Version. Select “0.10.14-1ubuntu1″ from the list and click the Force Version button. Do the same thing with the python-gst0.10-dbg package and then click Apply. Once it’s done downloading and installing the packages you can close Synaptic.
