Description Mattias Dahlberg 2003-12-22 09:42:31 UTC 
I've seen questions about this error in the past, but never seen an
answer. And now I've been bitten.

When I try to start up2date I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1188, in ?
    sys.exit(main() or 0)
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 850, in main
    gui.main()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 2197, in main
    gui = Gui()
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 284, in __init__
    style.font =
gtk.load_font("-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1")
RuntimeError: could not create GdkFont object

I like to help debugging this. Just tell me what to do.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.1.16-1

How reproducible:
Always

I'm closing as NOTABUG. It seems like my xfs was screwed up.
