    Administrative tools fail to load

    I found a similar problem. The poster used a similar title "Administrative tools fail to open - karmic"
    I also have karmic and four tools fail to load; Ubuntu Software Center, Hardware Drivers, System Testing, and Update Manger. Synaptic and System Monitor run. I ran update-manager and software-manger and was told module pygtk does not exist. I ran "sudo apt-get install pygtk" and it said that did not exist as a package.
    The terminal update and upgrade also work.

    Code:
    me@me-laptop:~$ update-manager
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 26, in <module>
        import pygtk
    ImportError: No module named pygtk
    me@me-laptop:~$ software-center
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 25, in <module>
        import pygtk
    ImportError: No module named pygtk
    me@me-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get pygtk
    [sudo] password for isaac: 
    E: Invalid operation pygtk
    me@me-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install pygtk
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Couldn't find package pygtk
    me@me-laptop:~$
    Would the best solution be to reinstall the OS from fresh downloads as at least the Hardware Drivers tool works with the live USB?

    pygtk is a member of python-gtk2. A simple reinstall worked.
