You're right... I already had python-wxgtk2.6 installed at the point
when I installed bittorrent-gui, so I ended up with the problem
behavior.
The problem is that bittorrent-gui requires python-wxgtk2.4 _or_
python-wxgtk2.6. However, as you pointed out, the code insists on
version 2.4:

I think we should trust the code. If it's asking for version 2.4,
it's probably doing so for a good reason. The dependencies should
be changed so that bittorrent-gui requires python-wxgtk2.4 specifically,
not "python-wxgtk2.4 or python-wxgtk2.6". That's just my take...
