Description Jason Farrell 2007-06-01 02:30:57 UTC
Description of Problem:
Democracy-0.9.5.1-8.fc7 fails to run on a fresh install of F7. Bombs out with a
dbus_bindings problem:

Additional Info:

/usr/bin/democracyplayer:81: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is
deprecated and will go away soon.

dbus-python 0.80 provides only a partial emulation of the old
dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API.

Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

If you need additional public API, please contact the maintainers via

Comment 6 Jason Farrell 2007-06-02 23:07:32 UTC
Thorsten, it seems to be working just great now - thanks. It did take a couple
minutes to upgrade the db from the previous version before the GUI popped up,
though.

  Ignore my previous message.  My problem appears slightly different and is
already assigned as bug #244889.
