*Sigh* this program is essential to my work and has been for more than 2 years....

hamster works fine standalone. I'll upload a version that loses the dependency and doesn't ship the applet-dependent binary.

This bug was fixed in the package hamster-applet - 2.32.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
hamster-applet (2.32.1-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * make hamster-applet installable again. It works fine in standalone mode.
    This should all be undone once upstream has a version that works with
    gnome3.
    - debian/control*:
      + remove Depends on python-gnomeapplet
      + update to describe hamster as an application, not an applet. Of
        course, there is still the name...
    - debian/patches/03-dont-install-applet.patch: don't install
      src/hamster-applet, bonobo files, or its desktop file
