This package is missing all of its dependencies and it doesn't work if you didn't happen to have proper python modules installed beforehand.

Depends line should contain all python packages which are needed (python2.5, python-gobject etc)

Additionally when I start evopedia from menu, browser is opened to localhost:8080 (as it should), but server is not running as I think it should be.

starting evopedia_starter.py as root from /root gives:

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# evopedia_starter.py 
Using datafile storage.
Error opening storage: /root/
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.dump_language
AttributeError: 'DatafileStorage' object has no attribute 'dump_language'

So apparently it is looking for wikipedia dump but I have no idea where or how dump should be added.
