From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: /usr/sbin/redhat-config-packages should be sanitized. the script /usr/sbin/redhat-config-packages is using whatever python it finds first on the PATH instead of using the python that comes with the system (and has therefore all python modules that the script depends on). In my case I have python 2.3 installed on /usr/local/ without the gtk module so the line: import gtk from the script /usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py will fail because /usr/sbin/redhat-config-packages is starting the app with exec python when it should be exec /usr/bin/python2 or something similar Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-packages-1.1.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install python in /usr/local 2.put /usr/local/bin first on your PATH 3.try running the app Actual Results: Unable to import gtk module. This may be due to running without $DISPLAY set. Exception was: No module named gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 11, in ? sys.exit(0) NameError: name 'sys' is not defined [ Expected Results: it should run Additional info:
This report is filed against a product which is no longer supported. It is very likely that the problem is resolved in the current version of Fedora Core or scheduled to be resolved with the new system-config-packages scheduled to land in Fedora Core 5.
