I have the same issue. From what I could gather the problem is that  
something changed between python-pyvorbis between 1.4 and 1.5 that both  
3.121 and up-to-date git 4.0 doesn't like. I was able to work around it by  
keeping python-pyvorbis at 1.4 but that probably won't be an option  
forever. Another possibility is to find a 1.4 build (from an older  
generation repo, for example) and extracting  
pyvorbis.deb:/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6 to  
/path/to/your/fofix/install/pyvorbis and start FoFiX with  
PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/fofix/install/pyvorbis python2.6  
/path/to/your/fofix/install/src/FoFiX.py

If I knew Python I'd attempt to debug it, but I can't, so the best I can do  
is offer this possible work-around to anyone who stumbles upon this in the  
future if it remains unfixed.
