Description Daniel Berrange 2008-03-27 15:33:23 EDT

Description of problem:
# ipa-addservice 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ipa-addservice", line 79, in <module>
    except xmlrpclib.Fault, fault:
NameError: name 'xmlrpclib' is not defined


Looking at the code, it appears the 'import xmlrpclib' block is in the wrong
place. It is inside the earlier 'try' statement, so is out of scope when python
tries to process the 'except xmlrpclib' code.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-admintools-0.99-12.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run   "ipa-addservice"
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ipa-addservice", line 79, in <module>
    except xmlrpclib.Fault, fault:
NameError: name 'xmlrpclib' is not defined

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2008-03-27 15:38:49 EDT

Yes, I saw this too in another program. Went a little nuts trying to let the
user hit ^C without seeing a backtrace if they did it during the import stage.

If you move the imports to the top of the file you'll be able to see the root
cause of the failure. Can you do that so I try to tackle that as well?

Comment 2 Daniel Berrange 2008-03-27 15:54:45 EDT

I had todo several things:

 - Move all the import statements to the top of ipa-addservice
 - Add a missing 'import ldap' statement to ipa.py, or equivalently move 'import
ldap' before 'import ipa'. The former is better though.
 - Install the  'python-ldap'  RPM - a missing Requires:  on ipa-admintools RPM spec

Then i finally got the error i was expecting

# ipa-addservice 
IPA server not found in DNS, in the config file (/etc/ipa/ipa.conf) or on the
command line.

This was fixed upstream as a side-effect of bug 443987.
