Today's Inkscape update resulted in an error on my laptop with Ubuntu 12.04.
If no one else can corroborate problems with today's 
Ubuntu Software Center Inkscape update
then I won't post it on Launchpad.

It's entirely possible that it's my specific installation of Inkscape,
given the recent problem with outsets/insets after 
installing nightly build/uninstalling/reinstalling from Ubuntu ppa.
(That problem went away sometime during the past week.)

So, anybody else get this on Ubuntu 12.04 (or other Ubuntu version)
during today's Software Center package update?
