did you also install the package devede-lang ?

try to start devede from the directory /usr/share/devede

the file devede_other.py is installed there.


from the small output above, devede seems to search the files 
in /usr/share/devede:

	share_locale="/usr/share/locale"
	glade="/usr/share/devede"
	sys.path.append("/usr/lib/devede")
	font_path="/usr/share/devede"
	pic_path="/usr/share/devede"
	other_path="/usr/share/devede"
	help_path="/usr/share/doc/packages/devede"
	print "Using package-installed files"     <===


but the statement:
try:
	import devede_other
except:
	print "Failed to load modules DEVEDE_OTHER. Exiting"
	sys.exit(1)

triggers the bail off ...

you can try to comment out the line sys.exit(1) in the file /usr/bin/devede 
line 158 and look what's happening than. I would bet it fails with the next 
block:
try:
	import devede_convert
except:
	print "Failed to load modules DEVEDE_CONVERT. Exiting"
	sys.exit(1)


From point of installing, all files seems to be on the right place.
