Well, apparently the script comes from a package
called libglade2-dev as the following output shows:
$ dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/libglade-convert
libglade2-dev: /usr/bin/libglade-convert
The list of files which are part of this ubuntu package
are the following which seem to include version 2 of
a static library called libglade which I presume is
used to create executable files which parse a
glade XML file when run. The list is reported
below:
$ dpkg-query -L libglade2-dev

However when I look at the list of installed packages
related to glade I get the all of the following:

END OUTPUT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am puzzled with the fact that on the download site there are only
these two directories which seem pertinent to modern glade /
libglade development but there is no libgladeui package. So
I do not understand what the difference is between libglade
and libgladeui. What is libgladeui?
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glade3/3.6/

Well, as far as I remember I do not remember using any
gnome-specific widgets which are not part of GTK inside
my glade 2 XML file but I am going to try your suggestion
just in case...
$ sudo apt-get install glade-gnome
No luck with this, as after such apt-get installation I still
get the same error messages when trying to use
libglade-convert to convert my glade 2 XML file
to a glade 3 XML file.
So let us try and install glade-gnome-2 instead...
$ sudo apt-get install glade-gnome-2
And let us also try and install glade-gnome-3 ...
$ sudo apt-get install glade-gnome-3
Well, even after these installs I still get the
same error message when I try to convert
my glade 2 XML file to a glade 3 XML file,
exactly the same as reported originally.
Traceback (most recent call last):

What exactly is libgnomeui? I am stuck and I am not sure
about how to proceed with the XML glade 2 file conversion
to glade 3 XML.
Thank you for your help
with the conversion,
