Description of problem: istanbul is missing a dependency, not sure what it is missing, yum doesn't help Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q istanbul istanbul-0.2.2-4.fc8 Steps to Reproduce: $ istanbul Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/istanbul", line 30, in <module> from istanbul.main import main File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/istanbul/main/main.py", line 32, in <module> from istanbul.main.save_window import SaveWindow File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/istanbul/main/save_window.py", line 26, in <module> import pygst ImportError: No module named pygst
Looks like it depends on gstreamer-python. Now I have a new problem, looks like a dependency on python-xlib should be added too: $ istanbul Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/istanbul", line 30, in <module> from istanbul.main import main File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/istanbul/main/main.py", line 34, in <module> from istanbul.main.window_select import WindowSelector File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/istanbul/main/window_select.py", line 15, in <module> import Xlib.X as X ImportError: No module named Xlib.X
Here's the funny thing. the istanbul.spec for the development branch sitting in fedora cvs DOES have the python-xlib requirement. Here is the block of explicit runtime requirements in the specfile. Requires: pygtk2 >= %{pygtk2_version} Requires: gnome-desktop >= 2.6.0 Requires: gstreamer >= %gstreamer_version Requires: gstreamer-plugins-good >= %gstreamer_plugins_version Requires: gstreamer-python Requires: gnome-python2-libegg Requires: gnome-python2-gconf Requires: gnome-python2-extras Requires: python-xlib I won't get a chance to look at the binaries in the development tree until at least Friday night. I'm not sure what's going on, perhaps a build system hiccup associated with python modules. In the meantime you could take the srpm from the development tree and rebuild it locally in mock and see if locally built versions have the same problem. -jef
This bug can probably be closed. It appears to be a problem with either yum or pirut. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294071
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
