trying to run system-config-network I get the same error: Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs running fedora rawhide # rpm -qa | grep vfs gnome-vfs-1.0.5-21 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.9.90-1 gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-9 gnome-vfs2-2.9.90-1 gnome-vfs2-devel-2.9.90-1 # rpm -qa | grep python gnome-python2-canvas-2.9.4-2 dbus-python-0.23-4 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.9.3-1 python-2.4-3 gnome-python2-gconf-2.9.4-2 gnome-python2-extras-2.9.3-1 rpm-python-4.3.3-8 libxml2-python-2.6.17-1 python-devel-2.4-3 mod_python-3.1.3-8 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.9.4-2 gnome-python2-2.9.4-2 # rpm -q system-config-network system-config-network-1.3.22-1 also, system-config-printer does the same, and I suspect others as well --scott
I think i found the underlying error in the ui.so file provided by gnome-python2-2.9.4-2 package strings /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/ui.so |grep gnomevfs libgnomevfs-2.so.0 could not import gnomevfs start up the python shell and try this >>> from gnome.ui import * Fatal Python error: could not import gnomevfs Aborted This probably needs to be reassigned to gnome-python2 package. -jef
okay i just confirmed it... i hacked up a rebuild of the gnome-python2 in fc3 against python2.4 and install those packages. I can now get python based applications to work again including up2date and system-config-network The 'could not import gnomevfs' is almost certaintly in the ui.so from gnome-python2 in the development tree but i don't know exactly whats wrong with it. This really should be refiled against gnome-python2 -jef
yum install gnome-python2-gnomevfs from rawhide fixed the problem for me.
the problem is indeed solved by installing gnome-python-gnomevfs from rawhide. This rpm should have been installed as a dependancy.
This has been fixed for awhile: Requires: gnome-python2-gnomevfs is in the 2.10.0-1 spec file. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149085 ***
