The GNUmed package in Ubuntu is "rather old" while the
psycopg2 package apparently isn't. The current GNUmed code
contains a workaround for the psycopg2 v2.0.5 - v2.0.6
incompatibility but Ubuntu doesn't carry the updated GNUmed
code yet (Debian does).

Filing a "new upstream available" bug against the outdated
Ubuntu package may or may not help to get this resolved.

In the meantime one might try the Debian/Testing package or
else download the tgz release and run from any directory.
