PPM stops working

Hi.
Suddenly, the PPM stops working on Puppy 5.3.3.
When I click on SETUP --> SETUP PUPPY --> PPM, nothing happens.
If I try to run on CONSOLE typing "# ppm", this message is returned:
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error inline 30, near token '</vbox>': syntax error
aborting...
I downloaded and installed the "ziggy_patch_ppm-2.pet", accordingly with this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 479#626479
But the problerm persists.
Any suggestion to help me?
Thank you.

Is this an ext2, hard drive install?

Yes.
EXT2 - hard drive install.

One more question before making a suggestion. Did you install anything outside PPM.. a forum pet perhaps?

The last thing I did in PPM was update the database.
After that, it didn't work anymore.

Hmm.. did you OK all prompts and let'r finish? I think you've got something that may need to be removed.
What exactly I can't recall at the moment. Hopefully someone else remembers this scenario..

Correct.
A lot of OK prompts and waited to finish.

Martigej- for giggles, unpack this to /usr/local/petget. OK the overwrite.
Rt-clk >> file >> permissions >> yes.
Run it from here.. PPM open?
No? You know how to fsck?

No, PPM didn't open.
About
fsck, I have read something in the link:
http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com.ar/2009 ... ystem.html
But I never did, and have a lot of questions, starting on the first phrase:
"
Take system down to runlevel one:'
Sorry...

Apparently the problem was solved after I click on the "0setup" file located in /usr/local/petget.
After that, I can run PPM again.
Thank you, Semme.

Well Martigej, I'm not sure what that file does in particular but
good all the same.
