Thanks, Lupin3d.
It can be a problem with python in general, since Nicotine doesn't use the cairo module therefore it doesn't import that module.

Could you write the complete error?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/Nicotine", line 7, in <module>
import gtk
File "debian/python2.5-gtk2/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gt.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
ImportError: No module named cairo

:)

Ok, thanks.
It seems the gtk module is compiled with cairo support, so when importing the gtk module it needs the cairo module.
But the python2.5-cairo module isn't dependent of python2.5-gtk2 module.
Nicotine only have python2.5-gtk2 module as dependence, so it doesn't run.

If you install python2.5-runtime from the application manager, this error possibly won't happen, because python2.5-runtime will install python2.5-cairo.

I will update nicotine in order this problem doesn't happen.
