Description Bryan Kearney 2012-03-09 18:01:43 UTC

Attempting to run sniff on an F16 machine, I get the following traceback.

[bkearney@bkearney candlepin]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/sniff
dogtail-0.7.0-3.fc15.noarch
[bkearney@bkearney candlepin]$ sniff

This has been running an old(pre-dbus) version of dogtail on GNOME3. Works from 0.8.0.
