I've developed a program for the App Developer Showdown, with quickly, in python, and it works as expected when I package and install it normally -in /usr. However when packaged for installation in /opt it doesn't run -and I'm not getting (or can't find) an error message of any sort, as to what the problem might be. I was wondering if someone here has the answer.

The app does require root access -using gksudo- to function.

Application:

https://launchpad.net/aplomb

If you remove the gksudo stuff in bin/aplomb you see the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from aplomb import AplombWindow
