trying to run system-config-network I get the same error:

Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs

running fedora rawhide

# rpm -qa | grep vfs
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-21
gnome-vfs2-smb-2.9.90-1
gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-9
gnome-vfs2-2.9.90-1
gnome-vfs2-devel-2.9.90-1

# rpm -qa | grep python
gnome-python2-canvas-2.9.4-2
dbus-python-0.23-4
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.9.3-1
python-2.4-3
gnome-python2-gconf-2.9.4-2
gnome-python2-extras-2.9.3-1
rpm-python-4.3.3-8
libxml2-python-2.6.17-1
python-devel-2.4-3
mod_python-3.1.3-8
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.9.4-2
gnome-python2-2.9.4-2

# rpm -q system-config-network
system-config-network-1.3.22-1

also, system-config-printer does the same, and I suspect others as well

Comment 2 Jef Spaleta 2005-02-10 04:51:55 UTC
I think i found the underlying error in the ui.so file provided by 
gnome-python2-2.9.4-2 package

strings /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/ui.so |grep
gnomevfs
libgnomevfs-2.so.0
could not import gnomevfs


start up the python shell and try this
>>> from gnome.ui import *
Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs
Aborted

This probably needs to be reassigned to gnome-python2 package.

Comment 3 Jef Spaleta 2005-02-10 05:09:52 UTC
okay i just confirmed it... i hacked up a rebuild of the gnome-python2
in fc3 against python2.4 and install those packages.

I can now get python based applications to work again including 
up2date and system-config-network 

The 'could not import gnomevfs' is almost certaintly in the ui.so from
gnome-python2 in the development tree but i don't know exactly whats
wrong with it.

This really should be refiled against gnome-python2

Comment 4 Clyde E. Kunkel 2005-02-15 21:27:28 UTC
yum install gnome-python2-gnomevfs from rawhide

fixed the problem for me.

Comment 5 H. van de Kolk 2005-02-16 10:45:26 UTC
the problem is indeed solved by installing gnome-python-gnomevfs from
rawhide.
This rpm should have been installed as a dependancy. 

Comment 6 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-05-19 19:03:55 UTC
This has been fixed for awhile:

Requires: gnome-python2-gnomevfs

is in the 2.10.0-1 spec file.
