Description of problem:

Terminator update v1.90 from Fedora Updates fails to start due to missing dependency. The error message states:

> layout creation failed, creating a window ("Namespace Keybinder not available")

The package found in the main Fedora repository v0.98 works fine.

The latest package incorrectly references keybinder dependency, instead it should require keybinder3.

Workaround:

Installing keybinder3 package manually fixes the application startup issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Description : Multiple GNOME terminals in one window.  This is a project to produce
            : an efficient way of filling a large area of screen space with
            : terminals. This is done by splitting the window into a resizeable
            : grid of terminals. As such, you can  produce a very flexible
            : arrangements of terminals for different tasks.

How reproducible:

1. start terminator

Actual results:

layout creation failed, creating a window ("Namespace Keybinder not available")

fix coming

Comment 2 Simon Pichugin 2016-12-01 11:33:25 UTC
Looks like we just need to add a dependency.

After "sudo dnf install keybinder3", terminator starts successfully.
