The two missing files are from the spe packages, but nothing seems to depend on spe, so I'm guessing it's a red herring. You might try dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/pycentral<tab> where <tab> gets you the list of available .debs. See if you can get pycentral to reinstall that way and then try the configure thing again. hth A
