In SDK both gpodder and mytube can be installed fine. Mediabox cannot be installed because there is no mplayer. None of the apps should pull maemo-python-env as a depency. Are you sure that the installation is in consistent state?

Are you trying to install with apt-get? I would do apt-get update and try to install with apt-get install. If that doesn't work full apt output would be helpful.
