Thanks, seem to recall that I've had a report of another similar error (but that one was for F-9 from memory), I'll take a look at DBus packages later today and see if I can work out what's going on. I hit the same bug and was able to get past it by installing the ndesk-dbus and ndesk-dbus-glib packages. It looks like this may just be a problem of borked package dependencies. Yup, that seems to work: ~]$ f-spot Initializing Mono.Addins WARNING: The add-in 'FSpot.__DefaultExporters,1.6' is trying to extend '/FSpot/Menus/Exports', but there isn't any compatible add-in defining this extension point Unregistering http://addins.f-spot.org/main.mrep Starting new FSpot server Updating F-Spot Database Updated database from version 6 to 7 Updated database from version 7 to 8 Updated database from version 8 to 9 Updated database from version 9 to 10 Updated database from version 10 to 11 Updated database from version 11 to 12 Updated database from version 12 to 13 Updated database from version 13 to 14 Database updates completed successfully.

Thanks! Okay, this is turning complex. Do you have banshee or muine installed? Also, do you remember installing either? [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q banshee package banshee is not installed [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q muine muine-0.8.8-3.fc8 [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ And from my logs: Aug 02 16:55:15 Installed: muine - 0.8.8-3.fc8.i386 Looks like it was installed as a dependency of something else. (fyi: Aug 02 17:02:37 Updated: f-spot - 0.4.3.1-1.fc8.i386) (In reply to comment #6) > And from my logs: > Aug 02 16:55:15 Installed: muine - 0.8.8-3.fc8.i386 > > Looks like it was installed as a dependency of something else. > > (fyi: Aug 02 17:02:37 Updated: f-spot - 0.4.3.1-1.fc8.i386) Thanks heaps for that. I'll provide a little run down on whats happened: When a maintainer builds a package (lets say f-spot), rpm will work out (via a bunch of scripts) what the package should depend on, as well as what it provides, all done automatically without maintainer intervention. The problem is, that when banshee and muine got built, RPM decided that they required "mono(NDesk.DBus)" and "mono(NDesk.DBus.GLib)" which is correct, except for the fact it also somehow worked out that it provided both features. YUM decided somehow that muine satisfied those dependencies better than anything else, and decided to install that. Thanks for pointing it out, and it'd be 100% safe to remove muine if you don't use it. Hmmm I tried to remove muine and this is what I got: [root@morgansoldmachine ~]# yum remove muine Loading "changelog" plugin Loading "presto" plugin Loading "protect-packages" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Setting up Remove Process Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata No Presto metadata available for adobe No Presto metadata available for fedora No Presto metadata available for livna No Presto metadata available for idmcommon-noarch No Presto metadata available for dirsrv-noarch No Presto metadata available for idmcommon No Presto metadata available for dirsrv No Presto metadata available for updates No Presto metadata available for dribble Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * adobe: linuxdownload.adobe.com * fedora: mirror.pacific.net.au * livna: rpm.livna.org * idmcommon-noarch: directory.fedoraproject.org * dirsrv-noarch: directory.fedoraproject.org * idmcommon: directory.fedoraproject.org * dirsrv: directory.fedoraproject.org * updates: mirror.pacific.net.au * dribble: dribble.org.uk Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package muine.i386 0:0.8.8-3.fc8 set to be erased --> Processing Dependency: mono(NDesk.DBus) = 1.0.0.0 for package: f-spot --> Processing Dependency: mono(NDesk.DBus.GLib) = 1.0.0.0 for package: f-spot --> Running transaction check ---> Package f-spot.i386 0:0.4.3.1-1.fc8 set to be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Removing: muine i386 0.8.8-3.fc8 installed 1.2 M Removing for dependencies: f-spot i386 0.4.3.1-1.fc8 installed 7.5 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 0 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 2 Package(s) Is this ok [y/N]: ...

[root@morgansoldmachine ~]# f-spot still doesn't work "out of the box", as described above. At least not on Fedora 8. (I haven't tried on newer.) Given we have several hundred machines and some people trying to use it, it would obviously be nice if it Just Worked. Preferably without having to resort to workarounds, as you probably can imagine, but the ndesk-dbus{,-glib} trick seems to make it work. Thanks -- Karl Magnus This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
